I did a search, looking for a flange and gasket asap. Putting 98 spec ITR header in 98 civic EX, I want to keep the stock cat for now.

I even called Burns' Stainless and they only have 3 bolt cat-exhaust side, I need 2 bolt cat-header side.

help plz

Quite honestly, I wouldn't even bother installing it until you plan on upgrading the cat. Save the money that you'd spend on the flange and put it towards the cat. fund.

 

you think? I just don't want this car running straight header right now... So you think it's a waste of money?

 

Yes. The larger, higher-flowing cat. is key to realizing the most gain from the JDM header (or any other header for that matter). The stock cat. is a severe bottleneck, but it's often neglected when people are performing exhaust upgrades.
