cat back and headers

[civic2k2lx]

alright, i wanna get a catback exhaust, but i have the LX coupe, so my catalyic converter is built into my stock headers is it possible for me to buy a catback and have 2 catalyic converters until i get new headers? or is this gonna screw things up or what?

hahahaha
everyone got this problem i believe
if u wait just till the spring or summer time
im sure u can find a full 1 piece header with cat.
i know HP and APC has full header out.
just wait a while!!

wait till it's out..it's better that way..maybe you can save a bit of money too.

[Booohahaha]

i doubt that u will save alot. but if u wait alot more parts will become easier to get!!

ya that's what i am waiting for headers for my car..haha.

[civic2k2lx]

yeh but i wanna get the catback in april, and maybe the headers in augest when i get more money
will it mess things up with 2 catalyic converters for a couple months?

[1028CiViC]

true what kind of exhaust are you looking for?

[black2k1vtec]

The HP header looks sweet!

[1028CiViC]

are the hp header has one design for the lx model?/

[civic2k2lx]

no one makes the header designed for the lx
because they would have to have a catalyic converter built into it

i think the only reason most headers and exhaust systems are designed for the SI/EX is because the Si/Ex has the catalyic converter under the car, not in the headers

am i wrong?

[1028CiViC]

that sux..so i would have to customize one?

[civic2k2lx]

i dont think so
i dont know for sure, but i bet the ex header fits the lx and dx, but they say only Ex because of the catalyic converter situation

i wanna find out for sure

[1028CiViC]

maybe some kind of modification would work..

[civic2k2lx]

i think the ex engine has the same exhaust set up as the lx
i dont think the vtech would change the spacing between the holes when the exhaust comes directly out of the engine block
but i could be wrong
not sure
