headers ? i have a 2005 1.7l civic and my exhaust manifold is cracked,to get another one is going to cost me around $300,but i can get headers for $80...would it be harmful to the engine or gas mileage to go with headers just to save the cost of buying an exhaust manifold? |
Re: headers ? If you have an Ex then no, but an Lx, Dx VP you will be removing the cat as well. Not good for the environment. |
Re: headers ? just the environment?...hmmm....i can live with that. |
Re: headers ? CEL will be on with a P0420 code. Since it will be on all the time, you may never know if there is another problem until it quits running. Gotta pass an emissions test? You won't. *hugs a tree* |

unless you use a mechanical oxygen sensor simulator then throw your visual inspection guy a little something extra wink wink.:shady: if your in to hugging trees you could always throw on a high flow racing cat further down the line. That said, there are probably plenty of people working at certain places that are less than professional. EDIT: And it depends on the type of testing done in your locale. |
