Hey, after a very long and stressful weekend, I finally got my Megan Racing header installed. I did it mostly by myself but had some help from a friend. I ran into a lot of problems along the way. After I got everything bolted back up, I started the car and heard a loud clanking sound. I noticed that it's hard to move the shifter around as well. I looked under the car while I had my little nephew move the shifter around and saw that the shift linkage is hitting the secondary o2 sensor. My exhaust piping has moved to the left because of the header install so that's why it's doing that I believe. Anyone ever experience this problem? Any advice on how to fix it? I'm thinking of taking it to a muffler shop and hoping they can solve the problem (I really hope they can). How much do you guys think it would cost to fix a problem like this? Thanks for looking and help.

BTW the car is an 00' Civic Ex Coupe if it matters at all.

 

take it to a muffler shop and have them take the o2 sensor out and weld in a new bung in a different place and plug the old one they'd probably do it for 20 bones or so. no big deal

 

ok thanks. i was so happy to be finally done with all of the headaches of a header install and then to have another problem come up after just killed it for me. my exhaust piping is now moved a little to the left as well, so instead of just hanging down on the hangers, it is pulled to the left, do you think that would cause any problems down the road?

 

if nothing is rubbing or touching then it shouldnt create any serious problems no..

 

ok thanks
