I got an OBX R header on my 2003 LX an EX header will not fit unless custom work is done. Make sure the 02 censor plug is there, and actually there is two, one before and one after the cat, which is actually part of the stock exhaust manifold on the LX and DX models only. Not EX. This will be your biggest problem, once you take off the stocky, and put the new header on your car will sound like an old 1979 beat up VW bug, because you will have no CAT, and probably won't pass smog. What I did is had a high flow CAT put onto my stock down pipe after the new header at the local Muffler shop as well as 2 in. piping all the down. While doing that I got that stupid resonator removed right next to my exhaust. In addition I had the guy weld an 02 sensor slot right after the CAT to where I needed to reroute the 2nd O2 sensor from the stock exhaust manifold. If you don't do this you will have a light that pops up on your dash that tells you or the guy doing your smog that your sh_tz been tampered and you might not pass... The sensor thing was not that big of a deal if you can handle that little light 4ever, I couldn't, but the sound of the car w/o the cat was sh_tty, you definitely need to get a cat put on, this is for the 2001+ DX & LX models only, the EX id completely diiferent.........peace
