Default is there an aftermarket dx header?

you know, one with a cat-con built in?

96-00 DX civic.

i think i blew a hole in mine.

would it be unbearably loud at WOT if the header was crap? is there any reason poor timing would cause that kind of horribly loud noise?

nope.


that is the reason why there is NO aftermarket header for the DX/LX for the 96-00. DC Sports nor any other aftermarket company does not want to deal with it.

Yes the header is the same as the EX, you'll just have to get an EX cat. to relocate locate it and still be legal.

how easy would it be to buy i guess an ex aftermarket header, and then bolt on a high flow cat right after the header? what would you have to do, just shorten up the exhaust pipe?

get an EX cat back, or have someone cut the dx section and weld on the new cat.

what about the O2 sensors since its a 96 can you just move them down cus i dont think the wires are even long enough i also have that crappy header on my sol i wish i had a diffrent engine

also would the cat get hot enough to work or would it take a lot of time to worm up??
