Hey guys I was wondering if the exhaust manifolds between a 2002 LX and 2003 EX were the same. Not talking aftermarket, just the oem manifold. Thanks I searched but couldn't find any answers.

 

not sure if this will help or not, when i tried to put an a1 manifold on mines, it wont bolt up to the a2 downpipe. it bolted up to the engine fine.

 

They are different.

 

Thanks for the response..that helps. Hopefully more people have input.

 

D17A1 - Catalytic converter is part of the exhaust manifold.
D17A2 - Catalytic converter is located after the manifold and before the midpipe.

In order to run a D17A2 manifold on a D17A1, you need the catalytic converter, downpipe, and midpipe from the D17A2.

It's exactly the same concept as running a D16Y8 manifold on a D16Y7.

 

Thanks for the input toyo.
