2002 EX AT Header Install

I just bought a header for my 2002 ex with auto trans. It's a once piece 4-1 design made by OBX Racing Sports. I was wondering who has changed the headers on this type of car before and if they can think of anything perticular that may give me problems during the install. I'd also like to know what they thought of the performance after the install. Thanks for any input!!!

The 02 sensors are a real pain in the behind unless you own an 02 sensor socket. You can pick one up at almost any auto parts store. And the far right bolt that holds the headers to the engine block is kind of hard to get at. Other than that it's a snap. When you take the old headers off check the gasket to make sure it isn't falling apart.

It comes with a new gasket, so I'll use the new one.

the stock gasket at the bottom was smaller then the one that goes on the obx header.
so you dont get a stock size. the ex - i think should only have one o2 sensor, whereas the lx has two- for mine - that was a pain in the ***.
