I thought my 96 ex civic would have the cat underneath and not on the manifold ? Everything I read says it shouldn't be on the cat Anyone ever seen this before. I decoded the vin and it is a ex but the cats on the manifold :shock::shock:

Normally the coup ex would have the d16y8 vtec with a 4-2-1 factory header then to a single cat . The exhaust manifold/cat down pipe was standard for the d16y7 non-vtec.

Yeah, you could just have a Y7 header / cat.

Where did you check the VIN at? What's the engine stamp on the block say? D16Y8?
