Well, I just got off the phone with Honda Customer Service....
first of all, a link:
http://www.cartrackers.com/Forums/live/Honda/305.html
that link pretty much has a bunch of people talking about their manifolds cracking and getting them replaced. Alot of those people are Canadia, or from California, where the warrenty was extended to 150k.
now then, a while back I tried contacting the dealership about this issue. They told me 80k/8 years. However, after talking to honda CS, they told me the 96-97s were pushed to 150k for their emissions repairs. So I called up another dealership and set up an appointment for them to fix my header for free! :yay:
If you have this problem, and ran into the same dumbass dearship people as I did, I suggest doing what this guy says:

This has proven to be a defect in the Civic model, and they are trying to make everyone pay for their own mistake.
call that number! (800-999-1009)
the guy on the other end was real cool with me, I gave him my VIN and some information, and he told me indeed, they changed the warrenty. So just an FYI for my fellow slow-pokes with the shitty built-in cats...
hey, it beats paying $700 to replace it
