Will this fit a 1996 Honda Civic DX?

I wouldn't trust it. For one, they mention '92-00. '92-'95 civics have different heads and exhaust than the '96-'00 civics. The add is also confusing. They say "OEM manifold cat converter" and also "header cat converter". What is it? The header? The cat? Both? IIRC isn't it illegal to sell a cat converter?

You should do little research on it a little more around the web. I'm pretty sure it won't fit.

Yeah, I bought it tonight.

It only had 60k on it, and I only bought it for $55-to good to pass up.

He had it on his 97 civic.

I'm gonna put it on tomorrow.

While you ended up being right, you couldn't have possibly known for sure, there are a few other manifolds that look almost exactly like that, which is what civicexracer was probably referring to.

92-95 Civic VX (I think)
92-95 Civic CX (I think)
88-91 CRX HF
96-00 Civic DX/LX/CX/HX

and maybe more

hmm, seems like you just weren't aware there were other exhaust manifolds like it. You had a fair chance of being right just by guessing that anyway.
