Is there a factory catless header that will bolt onto my '97 HX?

Actually there is. HX's have the cat in front of the engine with a 2 bolt flange under to attach to the rest of the exhaust system. An EX Civic of your generation with have a normal sized manifold with I believe the same 2 bolt junction (although it will be meant to attach to the EX cat). I'm pretty sure that works with hatchbacks, I'm assuming it will work with a coupe. Won't be legal (emissions's wise) either. Seeya.

Read up in the pre-92 board once in a while, you might learn something about CVCC.

The exhaust manifold of 3G and earlier Civics are completely different styles and bolt patterns then 88+ cars which once again asks the question, why are you trying to bring up a topic that has nothing to do with the subject of this thread? If I try to put a test pipe on my RX-7, does that mean it has a CVCC exhaust? NO!

the thread title is "Is there a factory catless header that will bolt onto my '97 HX"
CVCC was discontinued fifteen years ago and the last engine to use it had a completely different head, thus different exhaust manifold.
Just because an exhaust has no cat doesn't mean it's for a CVCC head.
yet another reason for the existance of this thread:

So.
Can someone confirm that the 96-00 EX factory exhaust manifold doesn't have a cat connected right up to it? Perhaps the non-CA ones? I was under the impression it did, just like my HX.
TIA
