I have a 97 Civic LX SOHC..

HERE (<--- click) on ebay, are used DC Sports headers.. 4-2-1 headers, and it looks like a decent buy. They don't fit the LX model i believe, since according to AEM's site, only 4 to 1 headers fit an LX...

So, is there anyway I can still get these to fit in my car somehow? It looks like a good deal so I want them haha, I'm just hoping they'll fit if I get them.

EDIT: I realize on the ebay link, they say it fits an 96-98 D16 SOHC, which fits my description.. But LX and EX engines are both D16, just slightly different? ha.

they'll fit bro but you wont have a cat afterwards. You can get the 4-2-1 and you'll be fine.


Where in MA are you bro...?

the other thing that you can do tho is get a universal cat to put on the end of it so that you'll still be legal.

i put a header on my 97 cx. and yes the cat will be eliminated. and i still passed emissions. you just need a MIL elimnator to wire in to your secondary 02 sensor. voila!!!

why the hell wouldn't you just get an aftermarket cat like previously mentioned? at least then you'll be legal and wont have to worry just in case you get a d**k cop pulling you over!

um, what he's gonna do is pull out his magic mirror and slide that b***h down the side of your car and see that you have no cat like most emissions station's do.

i love living in WI, no one cares about pollution, my car had no cat and spit flames when you let off the gas and it backfired, not to mention it was loud enough to set off car alarms, and i was never hassled for it
