It was a pain becuase the bolts where on there extremly well, and I'm a thin guy. Plus because of the small engine bay's of Civic's, there is NO FREAKING ROOM to work with. In all it was just like 8 bolts.
It fit perfectlty, no modifications needed.

The DC Header is only the top section. The only other header out for our car is a full one that includes a new cat.

it's speed image at de la cruz around the SJ airport. when you're on 101, take off at de la cruz, after 1 to 1 1/2 mile, you'll see it on your left hand side. but not for sure about the price. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
