new 97 civic owner - stock exhaust system?
hi, i bought my 97 civic a few months back. the previous owner did a little work to it. new intake, muffler, paint. i cannot find his phone number and i want to find out exactly what he did to the exhaust system. I know there's a new muffler, because it sounds different, but i want to know if he did anything to the exhaust and headers. how do i tell the difference by looking at it? if i need to provide more info please let me know.

Re: new 97 civic owner need some help/tips
sweet, thanks a lot. I dont know what model it is. 2 door , its not a hatchback. all the labels were taken off before it was plastic coated. I took it from colorado to cali and back 57 gallons 2470 miles 43 average mpg for the trip. that's with rush hour traffic driving through LA. no complaints on the gas mileage. any tips or tricks on efficient, inexpensive (college kid) power? yes grumblemarc i did read your links on placebo power from intake/exhaust/headers, but i'm all about placebo if i think i'm going faster.

VINs were removed?
Check the block code - you should see D16Y5.

For security, you may want to truncate the VIN or not post it all. Just the car information and EJ7 is sufficient.
4- or 7-wire primary O2 sensor?

ok thanks, VIN removed. i really have no idea what EJ7 is, or if it is a 4 or 7 wire (guessing O2 is oxygen? sensor), or how to check. i'll do some research on some stuff and post any future questions.
Thanks for the help everyone.
