Default Will This Work?

Hey guys,
I have a 2002 LX and i currently have this catback on it...http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/s...rt&id=3557

I'm looking to get a header now. Since my car is an LX it's making it alittle more complicated.
Would any of these fit with my current catback?

I believe all Civic models (except the EX and SI) have the cat on the exhaust manifold. The EX and SI have the cat after the exhaust manifold.

to make it easier, there are a few things.....something with lift...lift it a key too in this, i was a tech at toyota so i had a rotary lift, but any lift would help, even safely jacked up. second, lot's of lube, wd40 is a friend not foe, use it....a lot!!! and 3 try to get your hand on a special 02 socket to take it out cause thats a bitch too. lol

I ran into the same situation w/ my HX. It too has the cat built into the header. I replaced my entire exhaust system with Megan header, test pipe, and cat-back. The hardest part was getting the old, rusty exhaust off...since you've only got the header and cat/test pipe to replace, it shouldn't be very hard to do at all.
