96 Civic HX - aftermarket exhaust help
I thought I was getting bad gas mileage, but check engine light wasn't on.
But I went to ORileys to use there code scanner to check for any codes.
Turns out, check engine light bulb wasn't working, but I got a code, P0155
p0155, has something to do with the o2 sensor
02 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 1)
my exhaust manifold is cracked, so that could be causing the issue.
i checked the prices for a new exhaust manifold and the cheapest i found it for was for about $267
I was looking to just replace my entire exhaust system, because its cheaper, i found exhaust kit for about $175 on eBay
The exhaust kit comes with headers though. and it has the hole for the o2 sensor.
would this be a better route to go to save money?

Add car/engine information - Read the forum Rules sticky.
And fix your CEL. You appear to have known it wasn't working for more than a year.

re: 96 Civic HX - aftermarket exhaust help
This is a different honda. I don't have a 98 Civic DX anymore RonJ
This is about a total different topic.
The question was if replacing the entire exhaust system would be a better choice, seeing that it cost less than just buying a new exhaust manifold
RONJ, I've only had the car since October....?

Re: 96 Civic HX - aftermarket exhaust help
The reason your manifold is so expensive, is because it has an integrated catalytic converter. Those cheap eBay exhaust systems do not have a catalytic converter in them, which may cause you to fail inspection depending on where you live. Driving without one is also federally illegal (granted, if you have feds under your hood, you have bigger problems, but still). In the long run, piecing together a proper, functioning full exhaust will be more expensive than replacing your exhaust manifold/catalytic converter combination, and sticking with the OEM setup (which, again, cheaper in the long run) will also maintain the factory quiet exhaust sound. Those cheap eBay kits almost always have bigger pipe diameter, a shitting "N1 style" muffler that's loud as ****, no resonator, and no cat.

Re: 96 Civic HX - aftermarket exhaust help
Now when i go to replace my O2 sensors, its better to just replace both at the same time, are these the ones I should be looking at?
I called Advanced Auto, and they something about having a CVT transmission, I need to buy a certain o2 sensor, the guy i talked to was very confused.
I posted a picture below.
