hey guys whats up, im thinking of buying an aftermarket exhaust manifold. I have a d16y7 right now. if i got the manifold for the y7 and lets say in the near future i decide to do a mini me and put a y8 head on it would it cause a problem as fitting wise, or will it be the same. Sorry if this may sound noobish. Thanks in advance

bump... anyone???

 

you'd have to relocate the cat further down stream

 

Yes, it will fit no problem. However, as stated above, you will have to relocate the catalytic converter. This also means buying a catalytic converter for a 96-00 EX, and extending your secondary O2 sensor wiring.

 

well you can put the y7 exhaust manifold on the y8 and run your y7 exhaust, which is whats done to my car for the time being, it runs like **** though

ok what do you mean by runs like ****... can you describe this a bit more?

 

and also i forgot to ask... by relocating the cat further down stream. what exactly is the difference between the DX cat and the EX cat is the piping shorter on the ex??

The CX/DX/LX catalytic is part of the exhaust manifold. On an EX, it's got a more "header" style exhaust manifold and a separate catalytic.

 

hmm ok i think im getting this, wish there was a picture i can see the difference to both, been trying to search online but culdnt find anything.. My brother drives a 98 EX (d16y7) auto maybe if its nice out i'll take a look under his car to see what im up against. hopefully it'll show me what im looking for, becuz its a y7 so i dont know if it'll be like mine or not..

Here's the lower portions of both:



Top one is SOHC Non-VTEC, lower is SOHC VTEC.

 

you wouldnt happen to have a link for these that would actually be able to show me the names of all thelabeld parts? if not then its cool.. thanks again

 

If you go on http://www.slhondaparts.com you can navigate to the particular parts.

 

i have a question too. i could figure it out i guess if i go outside but its 5 degrees out. I just bought a DX ek hatch. and this is my first exp with a cat thats part of the header.

my manifold is cracked which is throwing me a CEL cause the crack is near the o2

if i were to just buy a ebay header, i would also just buy a regular cat for an "EX" or a test pipe and everything should connect to the exhaust perfectly right?

 

Straight pipe it.

I have only seen one of these manifold's that hasn't cracked, its a very common problem. You can buy any D-Series Header with a O2 bung for the primary and the secondary should be in your cat. The most work this would require would be extending the primary O2 wires about 12 inches to reach the Primary O2 bung in your aftermarket header. Unless it's a VTEC-E engine (Y5) then you would do as I explained above and then run a OBD2A computer like a P2P (D16Y8).

 

alright cool.

i got an A6 manifold laying around ill throw that on there...
