just upgrade your swaybars at the same time....buy a front sway bar that is meant for an ex...then, problem solved....your also going to have to extend your o2 sensor...try searching about d/lx to ex exhaust swaps first noob....not intending to be mean or anything, i just know it's in another thread on this site....wait....on multiple threads....

Just remove the front sway bar. It saves some weight and adds some oversteer effect. I don't run a front sway bar on my autocross car and it handles fabulously.

ok I keep getting confused with this and other threads.

I have a 2001 LX, I am about to get a Full Titanium Cat-back exhaust system for the EX. I believe I was told by somebody on this board that you can put an EX exhaust on the LX by getting an EX header and that would work. Is that a correct method. Then on this thread ya'll are basically saying that I would need an extension pipe for the exhaust and to change to an EX sway bar.

I have the HP Racing Full Header w/cat. Will I need to change my sway bar and get an extension pipe or will bolting up a EX cat-back exhaust to an ex header work fine???
