Eric here, newbie to the forum, i have a question that can probably be easily answered:
my wifes civic; 97 EJ6, cal. emissions;
the exhaust manifold/converter has a crack in the top of it just above the 02 sensor housing, i want to replace this manifold/converter with a header but im finding a very limited amount of info on what header would fit, this is apparently because its cal. emissions. a friend told me that i could use an EX manifold/converter but the location of the sensor housings might require that i lengthen the sensors wires. might this be true? wether it is or not, i would still like to find a header instead, HELP!!!

Re: exhaust manifold/header problem (medjosh6)
thank you! As far as extending the wiring for the 02 sensor, can anyone give me some pointers on doing this?

Re: exhaust manifold/header problem
changed the plugs to NGK's (previous owner was running autolites lol) and the wires from crappy ebay ones to some ngk's
relocated the frt. liscense plate to the side to cover a hole/stab in the bumper cover lol
washed and waxed, paint still looks horrible, oh well
