Here's the easiest thing to do if you have a civic equipped with a pre-cat (the catalytic converter is actually inside the header), which is basically anything that's not an si or ex:convert the entire exhaust to an ex/si exhaust. Get a header that was designed for a 92-95 ex; it will bolt right up to your d15 (most d-series parts are interchangeable, but not all). Now, get a catalytic converter. You can get a universal one, but I'd recommend getting a converter made specifically for a 92-95 ex. Next, get a cat-back exhaust for a 92-95 ex. It will bolt right up to your new converter, and the exhaust bends will match your car perfectly. And presto-chango, you have an easy performance exhaust that can still pass emissions (provided your header is emissions-compliant, which Megan Racing isn't).

If you live in Cali or someplace where emissions testing is strict, I'd recommend either getting a 50-state legal header like Hedmen's Chikara header (should be around $150... check out http://www.summitracing.com/) or you can pay double the price for pretty much the same performance from a DC header.

Oh, and just a little warning: I wouldn't recommend buying from Andy's Auto Sport. They don't actually stock most of the products they carry. After you order, they send the order to the manufacturer who makes the part you order, who does stock the part. Then, the manufacturer ships that part to you. This means the shipping times are a little longer, and AAS absolutely rapes you on shipping charges. I ordered a pair of Z3 fenders (which came in a surprisingly small box lol) and M3 mirrors. The shipping was $110; let me put that into perspectivefor you. When I orderedmy full body kit, the shipping was $185. I'll never order from them again.

alright iam pretty sure it is D15B7 cus it looks like that...

will the headers come with a downpipe... i am really not sure about all that stuff... and i think there is a pipe that does from the downpipe to the cat or does the car just go right on to the downpipe... and how much do the cats and catbacks usually cost... and most of it is bolt on if it is all specific for the vehicle right, but if it was a universal one i would have to weld right....

i probally wouldnt buy anything from andys auto sport but i just go there to look for the parts because they have a good selection of things for a specific car

Almost directly below where the upper radiator hose attaches to the engine, there is a flat place on the engine block (between the exhaust manifold and the transmission). This is where your engine type and serial number are stamped. There is usually a lot of grime on there, but if you clean it up you'd know for sure which engine you have..
