I just got it in but I don't have the gaskets yet from Honda so I can't put it on. Can anyone tell me what gaskets I need?

i think some people have just used the gasket thats on there now. Or u could try advance auto or some place like that. Try to avoid honda unless you want to get @$$ raped

gasket shouldn't cost over 5 bucks. or 2 bucks even.

not even Honda will try to rip you off on header gaskets.... I think.

if they do try though, try www.hondaautomotiveparts.net

you'll need two gaskets.. the one where the header connects to the engine and the other one for the point where the header connects...

WTF is your problem. Posting pictures of a part that is on backorder and I can't get one. You s.o.b. [IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG]

j/p.....but really, i'm hurt man.


Edit: I am 99.9% positive that you use the donut ring off the stock header for the header to downpipe connection. The joint looks the exact same as stock.

I can't remember if there was a gasket inbetween the downpipe and b-pipe but if there is, you can just reuse the stock one. Everything bolts together just like the stock parts. You shouldn't need anything.

Edit2: You can just reuse the gasket inbetween the header and the engine. It should be just fine. You haven't had the car anywhere near long enough to warrant a replacement.

I ordered the gasket between the header and engine, as well as the one between the header and cat. If both of the stock pieces look intact i have 48 hours to bring them back so we will see. After I install it I will hopefully get a DIY for this done. It sounds like the LXs and EXs have different problems so maybe this will only be helpful to EX people. I can't wait to put it on but I am going to wait until my Skunk2 exhaust gets in.

Is that the +14hp one?

Supposedly. Let's just say I'm not holding my breath for 14 HP. I just hope for some decent gains out of my I/H/E combo once it all comes.

I have Skunk2's exhaust with a CAI. All I need ARE the headers. They look sweet. You'll like it even more once they change colors... don't let no one put their fingerprints all over them cuz they'll look fugly!

So I am guessing I should clean them once I put them in. Thanks for the heads up

 
Rep Power: 367

yeah. becareful not to get fingerprints all over it cuz when the header burns in, supposely the fingerprints will be there to last...

tell me how loud it gets... and the yields. I've heard all these wonderful thread, but there's ONE person that says it isn't all that... and I listen to the negatives more than the positive.. heh..

So I'm guessing that these are the 'fixed' HP headers and they're for an EX-only install? I need a set of headers, and I've been thinking about getting the DC Sports headers, but I see that this has the downpipe and hi-flow cat. I might be interested if these things fit properly and you don't have to cut anything.

Have you installed it yet?

I am waiting until I get my exhaust to put them on and right now it is on back order so I am not sure when it will be.

I took my Skunk2 off... it'll be nice to have a faster Civic that looks stock. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] If the exhaust contributes with the headers and intake, I'll definitely let you guys know cuz right now, I'm just running an intake. Strange thing is I'm still intimidating people... damn, the people around here. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/IMG]

GET THESE HEADERS. That's all I gotta say. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

My guess is that if you install them, use gloves instead of your bare hands. BLUENVY01 let everyone touch his and they are all smeary. You can try to clean them but it won't work. It's like the heat will cook into the headers permanently smearing them. Kinda makes me wish the heat shield would fit over it.[IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG]

did it come with the O2 sim piggy back thing? i emailed HP last nite and they said that if i buy just the cat, it doesnt come with the piggy back. why? becuase there is HOLES (yes, HOLES, not hole) on the cat for the o2 sensor to plug into.. im really confused..

 
Rep Power: 0

No, there is 1 hole on the cat and 2 holes on the header, one with a bolt in it.

finger prints do stay. My dc header has 1 little print that I missed when I was cleaning them after I installed them. But now it doesnt matter, they just turned dark cause of the normal heating of it.

I have AEM SRI and Skunk2 Catback. I will be goin to the IL meet. I don't have the header on because my brother and i can't squeeze it in there and there is still no DIY. Maybe some day.
