Default My new 01 civic sedan

I just got rid of an integra. I have 3 kids, so i decided to get a family ish style car. I like working and doing things to my car. I just never realized how hard us was to find parts and what not. I just bought some coilovers. Im looking for a good sounding exhaust. Name:  photo.jpg

Do you have emissions? If not go header to straight piping. Cheap quick and easy

Horrible idea for a family man. They'd go deaf, from just driving the car.


As for an answer to the question in the first post; are you looking for a performance gain... or just an aesthetic improvement?

The problem is, that you have a non-EX. The majority of exhaust components that are out there are based on the EX chassis only. You could definitely pick up the exhaust manifold and b-pipe from an EX to run an EX cat-back, though. You would just need to extend the wiring on the second oxygen sensor, to keep the car from throwing a CEL.

Were your side mirrors ever replaced? Because typically, they're body-color matching on the EX.

It can't be an HX.

HX are coupe only and came with the D17A6.

Do you have a pic of the engine? It should looke like this if it is a D17A2 or D17A6 (note the cover over the spark plugs):


And like this if it's your original D17A1:
