2001 Civic EX Headers question
Hello, im not sure if im posting this in the correct place but I found some cheap headers on eBay and im wondering if they would fit with my current exhaust system or would i have to run a 2.25 inch pipe the entire way for it to match up or be any use.

Re: 2001 Civic EX Headers question
Well, first we need to know what model your car is (ex, lx, etc.) It says it is a direct bolt on for the EX only so it should bolt on directly. Problem is Ebay headers are cheap so you may want to ceramic coat it or paint it before install, otherwise its going to rot out FAST.
They don't sell headers for cars other than the EX and Si because the others have a cat-downpipe-header in one and it's a VERY expensive piece. Hopefully that answers your question.

If you have an EX then they will bolt up. Ebay headers are touch and go, sometimes the welds hold up and sometimes they crack, painting them or having them powder coated is definitely a must though because they will rot.

Yea you will. The LX header comes right down to where the cat is located on the LX exhaust. Your EX the downpipe is part of the catalytic converter.

Unfortunately I don't recommend you do that. The cat is the most expensive piece of the exhaust and that's the part your looking to modify on your EX. The only suggestion I have is to get a "Weld On" universal cat and get a body shop to put it on for you. However, it's nowhere near as efficient as your OEM cat which is by far the best one you can have on your car. Go buy a manifold for an EX.

Yep, that's your best bet.
Megan makes decent quality ones on the cheap. You can get them on ebay. If you do go with these I recommend getting them coated.
If you want some more expensive ones DC makes them but they can go for 300+.
OEM is never a bad way to go, I think they are about 120 off south bay honda or majestic honda.
Good luck!
