so i have a 2002 civic lx but i want to get headers intake and exhaust. i want to try and stay street legal (carb legal) what do u recommend?

 

As far as CARB legal I say AEM for intake and DC sports for exhaust and headers. cheap will not pass smog, you gotta spend the money

 

you guys drive inline 4-cylinder cars... it's just a header.


anyway, yea for CARB legal just get DC Sports header, and any name brand intake should have a CARB sticker, and i know that AEM does for sure.

 

i checked DC but they dont make a header for the LX or at least not my year. what header can i get that will fit my car even if its not carb legal> perferably 4-2-1

 

mmmm any header other than the Magnaflow header/high flow cat combo will delete your cat, in which case you wil need an EX header, EX cat, and EX catback exhaust, and a secondary o2 sensor extension, install those repectively, and you'll stay emissions legal. If you need to stay emissions legal it's really inconvenient to install a header on your d16y7 since the cat is in the exhaust manifold itself.

 

it's a 2002, not 96-00


but yea, same thing applies, except that they don't make a magnaflow header/cat combo for that year
