hp header problem

hi umm today i picked up some headers from the local speedshop for my lx but i was so excited i didnt notice there wasnt a hole for the 02 sensor half way through the install is it even the right header ill try to include a pic but if im right at the bottom of the header near the downpipe there is another o2 or some kind of sensor what do i do so i can put the sensors in how does this work? is this the right header? it says 2001 but it should fit the 2002 i think cuz i have the 2002 right?

the header will fit in your car but you have to put the o2 sensors on the downpipe i took mine into a muffler shop. But my check engine light goes on so you do is get a o2 simulator that will take out the check engine light. If their DC headers their for EX models their o2 sensors are near the cat.

You could always take you car to a muffler shop and have the custom down pipe made with the o2 sensor. But like asdfasdf said your check engine light will stay on. Most people i know with anything but an ex are having custom piping put in.

asdfasdf: where do you get that 02 simulator?

doesn't sound like they are a fit for LX. if u can't reach the downpipe. its a short one right? as in, the upper section only right?

the LX has a very very short 4-1 header (stock) with the cat convertor right below it.. there are only a few headers that will work for the LX, DX, HX. kamikaze I believe will fit... I think it removes the stock cat though... if u use that header u have now, u'll have to take it to the shop and have them either drill a hole so u can fit the o2 sensor in.. or use a o2 sensor simulator, AND, you'll have to weld on some extended pipping to have it fit to the downpipe.

but you will be removing ur stock cat. so that may be illegal in ur area. check.
