how many miles do you have? I just had my stock mani/cat replaced for free because Honda extended the wrty. I think it up to 125,000 miles for the 97's?? Mine's a 99 and the wrty is for 8 years 80k miles.

Same here. You don't need any kind of sealer, it's a metal gasket. As for your dealer wanting $45 for a new one, sounds like he's trying to rip you off. I installed my header about a month ago, and I bought a gasket just in case. I paid $23 Canadian for it, but I returned it afterwards cuz I didn't need it.
And 23ft/lbs is right.

list price on the exhaust manifold gasket is ~$12 US, you can get one from
http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com for $9 US
cheap insurance if you ask me
