i have a 98 civic lx and my exhaust mani cracked... Should i just put the same type or get something off an ex? Does anyone know how much the muffler shops will charge to modify the catback to make the ex header and cat fit? What header and cat should i get? Also what would it do to my car if i get a different header and cat? opinions please..

 

prob gonna be cheaper getting a cheap aftermarket header.

 

what kind? where do i find cat and header at? anyone selling them?

 

I run just a dc 4-2-1 header with no cat on my cx w/ z6 swap and it meets up at the same point where my old one fit

 

i bet your heat shield cracked your header.....is it still on?

 

my heat shield cracked my mani??? how??? Its still on but i thought its their for protection? so if i get a header off like that z6 or whatever it should bolt up with no modification needed?

 

it should all d series civic engines have the same exhaust manifold studs, but mine is a 95 yours is a 98, so I don't really know how your manifold- cat- downpipe is set up but I just took of the old manifold bolted up the header, and bolted it up to the midsection.

 

is your cat and mani welded together as one? mine is.....

 

just get a new header and bolt is straight on to the existing cat. :doh:

 

yeah mine was
