Yah, I would do a search, if you haven't already. But from what I hear... HP if you have an EX and Kamikaze if you have an LX/DX.

I dont remember what issue it was but i know for a fact Sport Compact Car Rated Mugen headers number one, but that was for the RSX, and Mugen doesnt support the Civic Coupe EX engine, so you whould have to do a swap.

Kamikaze headers
The best header for all Hondas hands down is the kamikaze. Kamikaze has been making honda 4-1 header for over 15 yrs. There is dyno after dyno, mag. article in the hundreds telling Honda owners Kamikaze is the only choice. Kamikaze offers huge 1.75 inch primaries, thick 3/8 inch laser cut flanges and 16 guage steel tubes. There are no modifications needed to run these. Dont cut up your car to run a sub standard header, if the comapany cared about your car they would not makes you cut it up. Contact me if you need any more info on kamikaze header or check out my website at bigjoshracing.com

The Kamikaze header will fit the LX... it will bolt right up to the stock exhaust. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I believe the HP header will only fit the EX. You can buy the HP for your LX, because then you would buy aftermarket exhaust parts made for an EX and stick it on your LX.

Not sure. But if it's put on an LX, doesn't it replace the cat converter? Since the cat converter on an LX is in the exhaust manifold.

I have the kamikaze header on my LX. I love it. Definetely good gains. It bolts on directly but you have no cat which means not street legal.

Good question. Wouldn't it be best to replace the gasket with a new one?

Did the Kamikaze header come with the down pipe? I'm going to order one soon for my LX. Where did you guys purchase your Kamikaze header?

No its just the top portion which is all you need. With the cat being one with the header you just need the top. It bolts directly up to the pipe and your good to go. I got mine from ImportParts.com. They were slow as hell.

You might want to.

Yes I was wondering Does the Kamikaze header have the two o2 sensors holes for the ex, so it will replace the cat.

It has two holes one on top and the other, on the lx anyways, you have to extend the o2 sensor wires so it can reach.
