DC Sports was founded by Darrell and Darrick Contreras as a high-quality designer and manufacturer of performance products to address the developing Sport Compact Market. In 1987, American Honda commissioned DC Sports to develop a header for their SCCA prepped CRX’s and the result cumulated was our first 4 into 1 header design. It was so well received that Honda requested headers for other applications.
That system is the one that started it all (HHC5002). The Sport Compact Market was primarily based on popular Japanese small cars that were great cars to begin with, but also excellent platforms for various tuning modifications.
Throughout the 1990s, DC Sports was synonymous with Honda and Acura performance and in the early 2000’s started expanding into other sport compact platforms. DC Sports developed unique designs that performed better and therefore became the brand of choice for serious enthusiasts.

Extremely easy to install!!!! Looks awesome, not sure if I can notice a huge difference in handling or stability but I’m also not drifting around on the race track. I would definitely say it helps strengthen up the rigidity of the car though.

Fantastic quality. Incredibly stiff on and off the mounting points. You can’t make this thing bend if you wanted it to. Bolts lined up perfectly on an integra hatch. Looks good and came with a few stickers and installation instructions.

A must have for all ef owners!!!
Bolts up perfect! Minor modifications to the surrounding trim panels but for what you get using this id say it’s totally worth it. Put this in a 91 civic hatch.
