I have been trying to keep my vehicle as stock as possible. Now I have a cracked exhaust manifold. I see there are a lot of header units available. I only see one problem with using any aftermarket header on this car. The o2 sensors. The first one is for balancing the air/fuel ratio. The second one is for determining if the cat is functioning. Well since the cat is part of the header on this year and model there will not be one and an engine code will be thrown even if a dual o2 sensor unit is used. How do I set up the system to not throw a code?

 

what year car do u have

 

title says 96

If you're trying to keep it stock, you MIGHT be able to pick up an original manifold from someone who has replaced theirs with aftermarket. Any 96-00 DX/LX mani should work.

 

you can find new replacements on ebay sometimes.

 

just sos u konw, stock headers are more expensive than a decent aftermarket header.

the 96 lx mani is different than the 92-95.

i thought that was on just cars with california emissions?........or is it on OBDII cars?>.....either way its a D series motor, so ud just need an in line catalic converter.....you can get those cheap too..

 

you're right, not all 96+ LX's have the same mini. i figured thats what he'd need since he mentioned..the cat is part of the header on this year..

 

Could he go with an EX header with cat?
