LX Headers

[takezo]

Anybody knows good aftermarket headers for LX instead of DC Sports or ebay's-DC-Sports-Copy :D ? Most of them made only for EX. Or can I modify the one for EX to fit my LX ?

just got a pair of DCs i like em alot just gotta look and make sure you dont have a 3 piece bolt. And gett ready to do some sawing to cause my old headers were bastards coming out so we took a hack saw to them. After that it is down hill except this damn ECU problem. But pretty much they are great!

F22b1/2 headers are interchangible. They have the awkward |O OO O| exhaust port pattern. Right now the best off the shelf after market header is the kamikaze one. Its stainless steel, has bungs for the sensors, 2 piece, has a 2 1/2 inch collector, and is constructed way better than the DC.

Ive seen some people modify greddy ones to have a 2 1/2 inch collector. Its something most exhaust shops can do for under 50 bucks.

i thought that the lx had some that were 3 piece or 1 piece?

so that mean I can use DC Header for EX instead of LX ? or need to modify it?

Well i got my headers from NOPI.com and they said they fit LX/EX/DX however it reads caution:if you have a LX with a Three bolt pattern then these wont fit. So look under your car if where the headers meets the Cat is a two bolt you are good to go if not then you have to find LX specific for the three bolt headers!

The stock LX header has a primary O2 sensor on the header and if you get a DC sport header they move the O2 sensor to the end of the down pipe and you will need a o2 sensor extention harness avail from DC. The EX has no O2 sensors on the header or the downpipe, on the EX both sensors are located after the down pipe before the catalitic converter. So there are different because of where the O2 sensors are located. I own a 95 accord LX and I own a 97 accord EX. Put DC sport headers on both of them and thats whats was different. Hope this helps anybody.

You are prolly going to need a new cat too.
I have a 97 LX that i put DC 2 piece ceramics, and greddy EVO on.
The Cat and flexpipe were in pretty bad shape.
We ended up just welding the header right to the cat. Oh and maybe look into getting a 02 sensor simulator, otherwise your check engine light will be on constantly. There is a place online casperelectronics.com that has them.
With all this said i love my exhaust setup. It sounds really cool, and the added top end power is awesome.

Also the dc header for the LX comes with the extension harness for the 02 sensor.
