Exhaust manifold is cracked - D-series.org

04-18-2005, 04:21 PM

I have a 98 civic lx I am trying to find a replcement for my exhaust manifold but im not having any luck finding one that will work with my car. I would like to get a header because the stock manifold on my car will keep cracking because its made from cast-iron. Also it needs 2 o2 sensors. If any one has an ideas let me know.

Damn. way up north. Still cold up there? If you look in the for sale section you might be able to find a decent header if you cant find a y7 exhaust manifold.

Want me to move this to the Want to buy section?

I ended up with a dc sports 4-2-1 header so far so good since I am not turboing at the moment

This happens to most people with stock in header catalytic convertor's. The stock design was not meant for any spirited driving, just daily commuting.
There was a Honda emissions warranty that extended coverage on this item. You should be able to get it replaced with an OEM unit for minimal charge. If you want to swap your header to aftermarket...you are talking $$. You need a new header, catalytic convertor, and exhaut pipe (muffler should remain relatively the same).

I did this 2 years ago...pm me if you need more help

dcsports header came with a o2 sensor plugin and the extension cable to plug it back in.
