Upgrade your Honda or Acura with a performance exhaust designed to deliver improved flow, an aggressive sport-inspired sound, and clean OEM-style fitment. The DC Sports DES-01-04 Dual Exhaust System V2 is engineered for the 2022+ Honda Civic Si and 2023+ Acura Integra Base/A-Spec 1.5T, combining a high-flow exhaust layout with durable stainless-steel construction and classic polished stainless exhaust tips.
Designed with daily-driven performance cars in mind, the DC Sports V2 exhaust delivers a deeper and more pronounced exhaust note while maintaining comfortable street manners. The muffler configuration is engineered to control excessive rasp and drone, providing an aggressive tone when accelerating without overwhelming the cabin during normal highway cruising.
A key feature of the V2 system is its interchangeable front-pipe connection. The system includes adapters for both the factory exhaust configuration and a compatible 3-inch aftermarket downpipe, allowing the exhaust to remain in place as the vehicle progresses from a lightly modified street car to a more extensively upgraded setup.

V2 Interchangeable Front-Pipe Design
- One of the most useful features of the DC Sports V2 exhaust system is its modular front connection. Instead of limiting the system to a single downpipe configuration, DC Sports supplies two front adapters.
- The OEM-style adapter allows DES-01-04 to be installed while retaining the factory exhaust configuration. If the vehicle is later upgraded with a compatible 3-inch aftermarket downpipe, the alternate adapter allows the existing DC Sports exhaust to be retained.
- This makes the system particularly attractive for enthusiasts who want to upgrade their cat-back exhaust now while leaving room for additional performance modifications in the future.
Performance Sound for the Street
- DC Sports designed the system to give the turbocharged 1.5L engine a stronger exhaust character without making the vehicle unnecessarily harsh for everyday use.
- Under acceleration, the system produces a deeper and more aggressive performance tone than the factory exhaust. During steady-speed cruising, the muffler design helps control unwanted cabin resonance and drone.
- The result is an exhaust that provides noticeably more character when you want to hear it while remaining suitable for a daily-driven Civic Si or Integra.
Polished Stainless-Steel Tips
- DES-01-04 is the Polished Tip version of the DC Sports V2 exhaust system. The bright stainless finish provides a clean performance appearance and pairs well with the factory rear bumper and dual-outlet design.
Within this DC Sports V2 exhaust family, the primary difference between the three versions is the tip finish:
- DES-01-04 — Polished Tips
- DES-01-05 — Black Tips
- DES-01-06 — Burnt Tips
What's Included
- OEM-style front adapter
- 3-inch aftermarket downpipe adapter
- Midpipe section
- Driver-side muffler assembly
- Passenger-side muffler assembly
- Required installation hardware.
Installation & Fitment Note
- The direct-fit design and bolted flange connections make installation considerably more straightforward than adapting a universal exhaust. Always verify gasket alignment, exhaust clearances, and tip positioning before fully tightening the system.
- Vehicles equipped with aftermarket downpipes should verify the downpipe's outlet diameter and flange configuration before installation, as the supplied 3-inch adapter does not necessarily guarantee compatibility with every aftermarket downpipe design.
The DC Sports DES-01-04 Dual Exhaust System V2 with Polished Tips is an excellent choice for Civic Si and Integra owners looking for a combination of improved exhaust flow, deeper performance sound, street-friendly manners, stainless-steel construction, future downpipe compatibility, and classic polished-tip styling.
