Im in the process of getting me 96 dx ek hatch smoggged and its throwing a code for a 02 sensor... so i baught the sensor and was going replace it but now i noticed a crack in the stock manifold and pretty sure thats the culprit.

If i cant find a stock one used would a ebay header bolt right in and connect with the stock exhaust piping?

 

bump need to know

 

it probably wouldnt be "smog legal".

 

even if the ebay header has a slot for the 02 sensor?

 

I havent dealt with ebay headers before. It might be legal but I wouldnt count on it.

 

I've got a stock header from a 94 EX in my garage...

 

would a 94ex header fit a 96dx motor? i gonna try to search.

 

Your typical eBay header isn't CARB legal. Don't forget you're going to need a catalytic convertor, which on the D16Y7 is integrated into the manifold.

 

wasn't ythat recalled?

 

searching with no luck.... ok ive located a 99 ex mani local will that work with my little dx motor? sorry for all the questions guys

It will work but you won't have the catalytic converter anymore...you'll fail smog. You need a 96+ DX manifold, or a new manifold + catalytic converter.

As someone else stated, wasn't there a recall for these manifolds cracking? Call the dealer and ask.

 

thanks^^^ yeah i just found out that it wont work im gonn call the dealer ship. thanks all.

 

there wasnt a recall but a extended warranty and it only goes upto 150k mile and my car has 195k DOHHHHH!!!! anybody have a dx mani for sale?

 

Just try to find one on craigslist

 

Look in the classifieds here and craigslist. http://www.thepartsbin.com has some oem style ones for sale that are cheaper than from Honda, but they still cost around $300.

Just try to find a welder that will weld cast. It can be done. Or just fix it yourself. I used a product made by LOC-TITE that is designed for this purpose. It has worked great so far. The fix is about 8-9 months old now.

 

the crack is off the hook its wraped all the way around the middle im just gonna buy an ebay one.
