Default exhaust/ muffler question.

k so i have this question, i wanna get my car to sound a bit more aggressive, although i was wondering if just by installing headers will my car's engine make a noticeable rumble or roar if u will. i dont want a riced out noise, i just want a subtle noise emitting from the engine. so my question is, do i achieve a noticeable roar from my car just by installing headers? or do i have to get the entire piping? im not really looking for big power gains btw

thx and i'll appreciate the feedback =]

roar... lawls.

no, no HEADER (since you only have one) will provide you with any noticeable audio tone. I ran a stage I crower cam, megan header, and injen intake and my intake sucking sound got louder. although now that i have a megan testpipe, it does sound really nice at WOT.

my daily is a 02 civic lx and my stock header cracked on me. this is twice now. the first time it was under warranty and it got replaced. warranty is expired so now i wanna go aftermarket but can't seem to find a reputable header. looked on egay and found a megan unit for $200 and other generics that are cheaper but what do you guys recommend or run?

Run a generic. If the car is stock you wont notice a difference sound wise. Plus the header looks better.

I got a hold of a Invidia full exhaust from a rsx. I know the muffler/midpipe needs extension and is a easy fix. I was just wondering if anyone hear as actually done it and how it went. Thanks

Default 2002 Honda Civic DX header/cat. converter question

Please don't flame me. My header is cracked. I'm assuming, because of the weld joints, that I have to replace the whole exhaust manifold and catalytic converter system on my 2002 Honda Civic DX. Right?

Thanks for NOT flaming.

Check your distributors emissions warranty, in Canada, Honda Canada Inc. has a seven year, 130 k warranty on catalytic convertors.

Thank you for your help. Also, my last question, and I do appreciate your patience, I'm assuming a DX exhaust manifold/catalytic converter system is interchangable from a 2001 through 2005 Civic, right? Would it be safe to assume the same for a 2001 through 2005 LX? Because I found a used exhaust manifold/catalytic converter system from a 2005 Civic LX for $250 from a junkyard. I have a 2002 Civic DX.

Should be, I don't know about California Emissions differences from years ago, assume all North American manifold/convertors are the same with ULEV status.

Actually I'm pretty sure that IS a vtec-e motor. But I could be wrong.

I’m posting this for general information. I installed a header/catalytic converter system from a 2001 Honda Civic LX automatic on a 2002 Honda Civic manual and my check engine light didn’t come on after I unhooked the positive cable for 3 minutes and I passed smog. Thanks for your help everyone.
