have you guys ever tried to fit it on your ef civics?

i just tried today and the downpipe is like 2 inches too short does not reach cat


any suggestions?

 

Do you have the header...
Bolted firmly to the head?
Attached to the block with the retaining bracket thing?
Is your exhaust pushed back?

It is the same length/relative design as any other OEM SOHC header. And FYI, it is a glorified D16A6

 

see thats the thing it is bolted firmly to the head the bracket on the block and the one under the car

even if i pull on the exhaust system i still have a solid inch and a half of air..

if i compare my 4-1 to this header there appears to be about an inch less on the zc for the downpipe part

 

its not surprising. the japanese cat is different length.

use a Z6 or Y8 exhaust manifold. its 4-2-1 and fits fine on a A6.

 

that's what i thought


put the a6 header back on and it's a bitch when you can't seperate the two pieces

because of an old rusty screw.

thx for the help all!
