DC Sports
DC Sports Headers, Exhaust, Turbo Manifolds, Air Filters and Strut Bars
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.
In 2004, DC Sports was purchased by Advanced Engine Management (AEM), a leading manufacturer of performance parts specializing in air induction and electronics for the Sport Compact and Truck/SUV Markets. AEM continued the strong DC Sports tradition of producing the best exhaust products and developed an even stronger connection to motorsports for the brand. Pilot Automotive entered the picture in 2007 when it purchased the aftermarket assets and intellectual property of DC Sports from AEM. Pilot is one of the largest accessory and performance product suppliers to the automotive and truck markets. Pilot owns a number of well-known brands such as Pilot, Red Line, APC, Bully, and VPS (Vehicle Performance Systems). DC Sports offers the highest quality ceramic headers, stainless headers, o2 extensions, stainless steel exhaust, mufflers, exhaust tips, mid-pipe, y-pipe, strut tower bars, lower tie bars, under bracing, magnetic drain plugs, oil caps, shift knobs and license plate relocation kits.
Today, DC Sports offers products for most popular sport compact vehicles. DC Sports headers and air intakes are available as CARB approved-50 states legal or race only- off road use versions. Headers are manufactured with polished T304SS stainless and/or T409SS ceramic coated for protection and finish. Intake kits come with a high flow open element filter complete with all necessary hardware for a hassle-free installation. Braces are manufactured with mild steel for strength and powder-coated for a quality durable finish and solid one-piece designs are used whenever possible to provide the maximum chassis rigidity. All parts are engineered, dyno tested for performance (where applicable), and come with an industry standard one year warranty. DC Sports has always been first and foremost about performance and value but there is also no other product that has the DC Sports look, feel, and quality.

Drop Spindles, Lift Spindles and Ball Joint Kits
What are spindles?
The spindle is the suspension component that carries the hub for the wheel and attaches to the upper and lower control arms.
What are drop spindles?
Drop-spindles relocate the hub to a higher position, allowing you to lower your vehicle using factory springs and shocks, and maintaining the OEM factory ride.
What is a ball joint drop kit?
Using the same ideology as the drop spindle, lowering drop ball joints replace the stock lower ball joint and relocate the upper ball joint position. The design allows the vehicle to retain the use of stock wheels without any clearance issues while providing the lowering needed.
What are lift spindles?
A lift spindle relocates the hub position on the steering knuckles, allowing you to lift your vehicle while maintaining the OEM tie rod and steering arm geometry. All of this helps maintain a better ride.
