I have a96 civic with a D16Y5 in it and the exhaust manafold is cracked
What header and cat can i get so i don not have to replace the whole exhaust system?
The Manafold and Cat are One peice and not too long ago i had to get all new piping and muffler so i could pass safty inspection but now i want to replace the Manafold and cat
If you have anny experiance with this style exhaust system i would really appriate the help.

Stock?

yes it is stock
the only thing that is kinda not stock is my short block is a D16y7 with my Y5 head on it and a different muffler than stock
i was wondering if i could put an aftermarket header and cat on it without replacing all the under body exhaust pipe before the muffler

If I am not mistaken there is a recall on the stock manifold for cracking. Call honda and confirm.

Thanks for the info on the recall,
But My car has 214,000 miles on it and the recall is only good if you have
150,000 miles or less.
so does any one know where i can get a gauge cluster with less than 150,000 on it? every junk yard iv been to all gauge clusters are missing

borrow one from someone because why would you go buy a cluster to record that you 150k or under that way you get the recall.Is that header cost alot of something seems like your going through alot of trouble.

I was wanting to see if i could pay some one to borrow one just for a day because the manifold and cat are one pice and the want $500.00 for it i found it online for like $350.00 but if i could borrow one or turn mine back the will give it to me for free.

also i figure if i buy an aftermarket header and cat i will have to put all new exhaust pipe under mu car then that will end up costing any were from probable $300+ so I can do that later but the exhaust leak is pissing me off that noise but when i get my money situation figured out i want to play with some more things on my civic
