Default header question

hey guys, newbie to hcf, thanks for the help. i'v got an 02 civic lx coupe, im planning on getting a megan racing cat back and a set of headers. my question is on the fitment of the headers. they are listed to fit an EX and i am wondering if they will fit anyway. thanks

Welcome to HCF. I like that screen name.

I am pretty sure Remmy put an Ex header on his Lx so you should be in the clear. All (99%) of the D fitments are the same.

not sure about that, try and find the one for the 02 lx coupe though, it's also a smart idea to get a 4-2-1 header

vtec...not v tech.

it will fit, but you have to get an exhaust too...and you might need some O2 simulators.

It'll fit but you'll need to get an EX or an aftermarket EX cat if your state is strickt at all.

Pick up 1 O2 simulator for the after-cat sensor as well.

Hi, I did the same thing you are thinking of doing. Ok, an EX header will fit your engine. You will need an aftermarket cat to be welded in where the test pipe would be since the cat is in the stock header, you will be getting rid of it.


o2 simulators are easy to put on. You just simply splice it in with the wires.

if you can hook up speakers to an amp you can install an o2 simulator.
