| PRODUCT OVERVIEW |
Upgrade the exhaust system on your Honda D-Series with the XS-POWER 4-2-1 Stainless Steel Exhaust Header, designed for applicable D15 and D16 SOHC Honda Civic, CRX and Del Sol models.
The factory exhaust manifold is designed primarily around emissions, noise and mass-production requirements. This performance header uses a 4-2-1 runner configuration engineered to improve exhaust gas flow and reduce restriction as the exhaust exits the cylinder head.
Constructed from T304 stainless steel with TIG-welded joints and CNC-machined flanges, this header provides a durable performance upgrade for street, restoration and naturally aspirated D-Series builds.
The 4-2-1 configuration is particularly well suited for enthusiasts looking for improved mid-range exhaust efficiency, throttle response and a more performance-oriented exhaust system.

| WHY A 4-2-1 HEADER? |
A 4-2-1 exhaust header combines the four cylinder exhaust runners into two secondary runners before merging them into a single outlet.
This layout is commonly used on street-performance Honda applications because it can provide a strong balance of exhaust velocity, scavenging and usable mid-range performance.
For D15 and D16 enthusiasts who want a performance exhaust upgrade without immediately converting to a turbocharger system, a quality 4-2-1 header is one of the most popular starting points.

| FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS |
Will this fit a Honda B16 or B18 engine?
No. This header is intended for applicable Honda D-Series SOHC D15 and D16 engines.
Is this a turbo manifold?
No. This is a naturally aspirated performance exhaust header. If you are building a turbocharged D15 or D16, see our dedicated Honda D-Series turbo manifold collection.
Does it have O2 sensor ports?
Yes. The header is manufactured with two oxygen-sensor bung locations.
Is a gasket included?
Yes. A gasket and the accessories shown in the product photos are included.
Is this a 4-1 or 4-2-1 header?
This listing is for the 4-2-1 configuration.
Will it fit every 1988-2000 Civic?
No. Fitment is based on the D-Series SOHC engine and exhaust configuration. Models using different engines or certain manifold-mounted catalytic converter configurations may not be direct applications.
