Thats pretty cheap, but will fit your car.

Are you running OBD1? That header is designed to run a single heated 4 wire o2 sensor, located way at the back of the header near the cat.

If you are still running obd0, Hasport makes a header with two single wire non heater o2 sensors are needed

either find a 1st gen b16 oem manifold, of get the Hasport one as mentioned. There are some old school aftermarket headers out there, but they are few and far between, and pricey

or, you could do an obdI conversion

i could just cut another hole in the new header and weld some threads for the other o2 sensor

as explained already, obdo has NON heated o2 sensors. You would have to get TWO new holes drilled with bungs right near the beginning of the header in the primaries to make them work right, as they work off the heat of your exhaust. It was kind of a non efficient setup, that's why Honda stopped doing it that way.

It will cost you more to modify it, than the cost of the header, lol Also, keep in mind the header will look good, but won't make any more power than the stock exhaust manifold
