DC headers install followed by P0133 (NIGHTMARE!!!!)
Okay guys! I have been researching my P0133 OBDII code problems for months.
3 O2 sensors and new catalysts later.. Im still having the same problem. Is there someone else out there having problem w/ their 97-98 civic ex cpe after installing their DC headers? Please i need ur help!

the header probably isnt a "tuned" one so it wont let the o2 sensor work properly. exhaust is great and a nightmare in one. hows that for pro and con??

yeah! thanks for ur input. I think i denied the fact that maybe there was something wrong w/ the DC headers for a long time, due to their reputation.
u know anyone who is selling their their stock manifold?

Did you have this problem with a stock manifold? I never had a problem with o2 sensor when i put my DC header on.
You sure you have both sensors on in the right location?

Re: DC headers install followed by P0133 (Luserkid)
no i did'nt. the primary reason i bought the DCs' cuz my stock manifold was cracked. even then i was getting any codes. rather than paying 350 for stock manifold (just the upper piece), i got a deal on new DCs' for 275.

Wrong....that won't work. Your car will fail the self diagnostic test and if the header isn't crab legal (not sure if DC's are) it'll fai there too.
I speak this from experience of late.

so how many headers did your guys put on the civics that could be the problem
