slowazzhonda Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 alright i have a 98 civic coupe dx.... im not lookin to run 9s but a lil more power would make me happy.... Im looking at some headers from dc and i want to buy them.... now every header i look at says it fits the following..... civic 92-95 DX/LX/EX/SI civic 96-00 EX ONLY <------- now if we gander a bit here it says "EX ONLY" Why is that? and would it still fit on a my 98 DX del sol 93-97 S/SI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 An inline 4 has a header, not headers. 96-00 EX has the cat after the manifold. Your DX has the cat built into the manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quake Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Yeah...the DX is built to be economic and efficient.....this is a limiting factor for you as far as performance parts go......It would be impractical to redo the entire emissions system......

alex37211 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I say ditch the dx mani before it cracks and get a decent header on. Then get a magnaflow cat ($90) and have a custom (slightly larger) catback made and installed at a muffler shop for like a couple hundred bucks, or you could just cut your stock exhaust off where the cat would meet it and have a flange welded on.

Xeryon Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 [i never owned an ek]) And I doubt you ever will since ek's were only built and sold in Japan. With the DX you have to replace the manifold and catalytic converter. To do it the legal way you will need to have a replacement catalytic converter installed in the normal location: under the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
