Rep Power: 0 well i took dc sport ex header and connected it to a custom pipe i bent up at a my buddies shop. i used my original muffler pipe, and didnt mess with my original cat in any way so if i need to i can put it back on. anyways, i took o2 sensor off a old ford escort engine i found at the shop the threads fit perfect. then i welded them onto my connection pipe from my header to my muffler. i stuck my hand under and i do feel air coming out. so ill fix it and tell you what happens.

I got the Kamikaze header put on my 01 LX. I had to lengthen the O2 sensors. Plus, if you're getting a downpipe, then I'm assuming your cat converter is going to be removed. Then you will also need an O2 simulator, so the check engine light doesn't come on.

Rep Power: 0 ok, here it is in simple terms....
on the LX trim car, any header is an upgrade to the airflow coming out of the head. more air usually means more NOISE. i did the EX exhaust conversion with the HP header, HP hiflow cat, and the Greddy Evo catback. now, if youre doin the conversion, it would be wise to stick with all manufactured products, but if u really wanna go with custom exhaust, u can. i would recommend the KAMIKAZI header for anyone wanting a header on their LX, because i've heard that the gains are about the same, and the install is less of a headache, because the KAMIKAZI is designed to fit the LX engine/engine mounts. with HP header, there are many alterations to be done on engine mounts, o2 sensors, etc.. on LX cars. the gains dont jusify the install time/headache/cost....fyi.
