Unless you live on california CARB shouldnt be much of a problem or any at all to you. Seems cali is more fond of their eco system then we all thought

sweeeeeet....the o2 sensor for me was the biggest pain i've ever had for an install....ended up having to pay to get it off the stock header and then to find out the the threads were worn out and the sensor was probably busted and had to buy a new one and have it installed by somebody.....[:@]

ORIGINAL: Pete

Take the stock exhaust manifold off, remove the 02 sensor. Put the 02 sensor in the new exhaust manifold, bolt it back on but use a torque wrench. Tighten it to honda specs. Use the old gasket, dont get a new one.
For future readers... i gotta disagree with ya on reusing the old gasket. The gasket that comes with the header is specifiaclly designed for that header and the engine in the same. Reusing an already supressed gasket could cause problems sealing wise.

ya I was thinking the same thing, why would you ever re-use a gasket, unless it was almost brand new.

the sound was great...and the performance from what i can feel is just as good. and yea the parts fitted correctly....the only thing is that the lower o2 sensor doesn't reach, i had to have someone extend it. and i still need to get a cat. converter.
