exhaust manifold swap

My 2001 DX exhaust manifold is cracked, I'm planning to replace it with my 2004 EX Oem manifold ( and put a performance headers on my EX ) would that be possible? my DX has a D17a1 engine and my EX has a D17a2 i believed. Please help. Thanks.

IMO Physically possible, but you'd need to change some wiring so each O2 sensor can reach its intended harness plug.

Re: exhaust manifold swap

Both manifolds are different lengths and you will have issues with the sensors and wiring for them
