Header, Intake, & Exhaust - civic hx headersView Full Version : civic hx headers teddybruckshot 08-31-2004, 04:18 AM i have a manual 97 civic hx. does anybody know if i have to remove my catylitic convertor to put on headers? polo708 08-31-2004, 10:38 AM no the header bolts directly to the engine... goes to a "midpipe"... to the cats, so you wont have to change anything else. The header will bolt right to the midpipe so the cat wont be touched. And save your money and just get one header:D dmsteele92831 09-13-2004, 01:21 PM Actually you will have to remove the catalytic converter because on the hx it is built into the headers unlike other civic models. polo708 09-13-2004, 01:59 PM are you sure... I've never heard of that before. NTX 09-13-2004, 02:08 PM the lx is like that. you'll need an ex cat.....

I paid $100 bucks for it, but I'm willing to let it go for less. If you know anyone else with a 96-98 civic HF, that's looking for an intake, let me know. |
