Engine bay looks mint!
Thanks!
Would've been much easier to unbolt the manifold from the down pipe first.
Yeahh you're probably right
To be honest it might have been fine the way you took it off because the down pipe is in a tighter spot as well sometimes those bolts break
i realize Im kinda off topic but does anybody know a good website to stream new movies online?
@Chandler Karson flixportal =)
@Marley Axton Thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I really appreciate it !
I was excited to see it run until I saw it was an auto lol
ALo Music haha yeahhhhh I would prefer a manual too
Will Surf replacing an exhaust is really easy even if you're not experienced. The most difficult part will probably be getting off rusted stuck bolts haha. Good luck installing it, you should post a sound clip when you're done!
Will Surf if you're gonna be replacing the whole exhaust I would suggest also getting a high flow catalytic converter as well, just so you get the most out of it!
Will Surf haha yep that is thw notorious honda rust, you're gonna run into it a lot :p
A lot of people like autos and sometimes they make sense I am "building a "race" car" lol but for the moment the auto trans is a life saver because we have a lot of traffic at times so. And when the season ends is when I planned on swapping it. Auto or manual it shouldnt matter respect a build for what it is and how clean it is
*_Nice build!_*
Im going to do this to my 89 civic I bought for 1000 bucks. Only has 125000 miles on it. Going to get torxe headers for it. Flat black. Its a 1.5 SOHC and its seriously lacking in the power department. Also going with a K&N cold air intake and new throttle body. Hopefully that will give it a little umph.
Boogie Woogie yeah that might help a little bit haha these old hondas really don't have much power. I think flat black would look pretty cool though!
Jade Horizon Yeah also going to get a nice exhaust kit for it too. So all in all it will run me about 600 bucks for everything. Which is cheap as hell. Was also looking at rebuild kits for the engine also. Only $120 for that. But the engine is still in great shape. No knocks or pinging at all.
Boogie Woogie 600 is really good for a full kit! Yeah you shouldn't have to worry about that engine for a long time as long as you keep up with the maintenance.
Jade Horizon you sir have just earned a subscribe. Keep up the great vids my friend.
Jade Horizon I have a question. I live in AZ and its hot as hell here. My 89 civic heats up wheb I use the air conditioning. Is there anything i can do to keep it from overheating? I'm thinking it might be a thermostat or water pump problem. Or maybe its too damn hot here. I dont know. Its currently 115 here. Lmao!!
good video bro !! thanks i have honda civic same in my country GUATEMALA CITY !!
Alex Quevedo Thanks! glad this was able to help you out
All silver. Beautiful.
It bugs the shit out of me when people lay parts on seats.
why
Hey so I just got an Srs exhaust manifold and I'm having some questions about the O2 sensor. I'm having to relocate the sensor to the down pipe but my old sensor doesn't reach far..so I was looking at some sensors and was wondering if a "downstream sensor" would reach all the way down
Yeah, the one we had just barely reached. I’m not too sure if the downstream sensor would reach, I would recommend taking some measurements first. If you know how to solder (actually pretty easy and inexpensive) I would suggest just extending it yourself.
Did you have to install new O2 sensors and what needs to be connected for it to not throw CEL?
We didn’t have to, we just cleaned it and didn’t get any codes.
Can't start the job without the honey nut Cheerios!
WuPiDu snacks are an essential part of any installation!
Good job guys.
Did you feel any notorious change in the performance of the car? I have a 97 toyota corolla (manual transmission) and i will replace the manifold the exhaust system and the air intake, you think the performance will improve drastically?
We just replaced the headers which doesn't do much for power. If you did the whole exhaust and intake u would probably notice a little bit.
@@jadehorizon1881 the headers is the biggest source of power besides the cat, this is where you would notice the most power. with a tune there would be more but you aren't feeling an insane increase because its still a low power mod/engine
No axle stands?
I'm not too sure what we were doing o.o we normally do use them.
Automatic transmission 😴😴😢
Dingus E. Dow Fastest cars are automatics, but the most tunable cars are manuals. Automatic are put into fast cars to prevent human error when shifting etc... Race cars, track cars, drag cars, almost all of em are manuals.
You just cant argue with stupid people. Dingus E. Dow still insisting on his facts.
@Dingus E. Dow so you consider sequencial gearboxes an automatic?
Yep. There it is.
@Dingus E. Dow MANUAL Motorcycles use sequencial gearboxes. So you're saying that a car using a sequencial gearbox makes it an automatic?
Hey I read in the comments on eBay that the o2 sensor hits the axel when re installed you didn't have this problem ?
It comes pretty close but there hasn't been any problems, definitely no contact.
stripped the civic.. all nice until I saw the auto stick...
ICheeseIT _ I would have to agree with you. He didn’t want a manual though. Dunno why.
Do it feel faster??
Sara Estrada not really haha just headers don't make too much of a difference
Ok thanks do more vids of honda upgrades!
They can make a huge difference if you have a plugged cat :)
Sounds better with a short ram intake
Switch it to manual transmission I've seen it get easily done would be a nice video.
Saul Montiel I think it would be cool to do a manual swap but he wants it to be an auto.
This guy lmao like if it is that easy it is not.
@@kawa1755 with the right tools it's not that hard. I've had half the job done at a shop due to no tools
If you don’t mind me asking what parts have you put into the car and at what costs did you pay ?
automatic is for grannys
Auto or manual it shouldnt matter respect a build for what it is and if its clean or not . . .my car is an auto and in our heavy traffic its a life saver now I do plan to start autocrossing and after the season I do want to get some freinds to help me yank the teans to swap it since parts for my car are everywhere "yes i do know how to drive stick my dads old 1987 suburban was a manual and he taught me how to drive"
Is it okay if I put headers on my 97 civic even if the computer box is stock?
I was going to ask the same question lol
I have a 95 civic that I'm just starting to tune up what headers did U get and from where? Looks nice
They are DNA motoring Headers, the link is in the description.
Little late commenting but I’m doing a d16z6 looking at doing an aftermarket manifold because mine is cracked will it change anything if I move the o2 sensor more downstream or do I gotta cut and put a bung for it in the aftermarket manifold
It depends on what you get. This manifold had 2 options for the O2 sensor and we used the one farther down, we didn’t have any issues with it reaching or throwing any codes.
Good jodbro doing my today 1997 civic ex got the black one ebay check tomorrow how be running take power o no loll
Could I install headers on to the rest of the stock piping ??
Yes you can!
Is it normal for a bolt on the manifold to be missing like it was in this video?
Haha no, no it’s not.
Did you guys keep both the O2? I'm trying to find a set of headers for my 97 Civic in my Cadillac converter is clogged extremely bad. I have a universal cat that mechanic put on the car but I can't find the headers anywhere and I don't want to omit my O2 s
Use Jack stands please, for your own sake. Also, should have wrapped it before installing.
Yeah I always do now, that was a dumb mistake!
Why it should be wrapped the new exhaust manifold for what? Thanks.
Does it need to be wrapped
so i recent bought a catback exhaust but my engine had a y7 integrated cat header. was wondering if you had to buy a new cat or if it just bolted onto your exhaust
I’m not sure about that specific cat integrated header, but I would assume it would be made to fit the stock exhaust. The only way to know for sure is when you try to bolt it on, sorry!
@@jadehorizon1881 did some research and turns out ive gotta buy a new cat or a test pipe for it to reach, its all good tho!
@@mxtchaisjwn111 glad you were able to figure that out before you took everything apart haha
Does the new header have threaded holes for the o2 censors or will it throw a code. Im in cali and want my car to pass smog issue free
Sorry for the late reply but yes it does, but there are actually 2 options, and No codes popped up.
I just i want to ask if it is just bolt on or you do some other work to get it done thanks.
Kyron De Leon yes, it’s fully bolt on.
@@jadehorizon1881 thanks man!
did you have any problem reconnecting the oxygen sensor?
Nope the only "problem" if you will was connecting the downpipe to the rest of the exhaust.
@@jadehorizon1881 hey so i bought the same exzct type for my 1995 honda civic and the down pipe is around 1 to 2 inches short, what do i do? What did you do?
@@Anabolic_Content yeah this one was a bit short too it took both of us to force it together so that we could thread the nuts on the bolts. It didn't get as tight as it should have but it didn't leak.
@@jadehorizon1881 Thanks man i am going to be attempting to do the same, hope i can make it work
@@Anabolic_Content NP I hope you don't run into any problems!
Hey bro is it okay if I put my 421 headers on my 97 civic vti even if may computer box is stock?
What size are those bolts you used for the exhaust flange
Did you get an check engine light after installing yours headers
Because I did
Jose Esqueda the check engine light is usually caused by the O2 sensor. Did you put yours back in? If it is back in, try disconnecting the battery to see if that resets your check engine light.
Hey did the donut gasket fit? Cuz I have a 97 civic dx and the donut is kinda big?
It was definitely tight but yeah it did fit.
Wow
Does the exhaust ports need to cleaned before installing the manifold back?
Yes, if it is dirty/rusty etc. it’s a good idea to clean it. Just make sure you plug the ports so that you don’t get anything in them. Also, later on we ended up putting a better gasket on it, the ones it came with sucked. You could also use a gasket sealer.
Do u leave the stock catyilic converter on? And is it legal?
Jesse Gunn we left the stock one on yes, and the laws in my state are pretty lenient. Here we do not have to get emissions checked. If you want to get more power of course I would suggest a high flow cat and a full exhaust. He isn’t really after power with his civic though, just wanted to clean up the engine bay. Different countries and/or states/provinces have different emissions and automotive laws, so you should check that out first. But usually if you have a catalytic converter you should pass emissions.
Ohh I see ok bro cool thx.
What can u say about the 4-2-1 header..there's any changes
Is Justin cracked? At fortnite? My guy??
Is the rest of the exhaust system stock?
It is. He was really just wanting to clean up the look of the engine bay.
No catalcconverter ? In Oregon that's a 5,000 dollar fine
Portland Sstar yeah there is a catalytic converter o.o
Good thing I don't live in Oregon... not like a cop is going to look anyway.
I've got a crack in my exhaust manifold 2001 Honda Civic I was told that I should just replace the whole thing with the catalytic converter and manifold all in one piece. If on the road too long I get a check engine light p1361 top dead center sensor noise. Should I replace O2 sensor and camshaft position sensor when replacing this manifold and catalytic converter? Any help is greatly appreciated
It wouldn't hurt to replace the cat as well but it shouldn't be necessary. I would definitely replaces the TDC sensor, you might be able to just clean the o2 sensor. Hope this helps.
Jade Horizon so camshaft sensor and crankshaft sensor are not necessary to replace at this point?
I don't know if it's the exhaust coming out of the front of the crack that's causing my check engine light to come on. But the car will go in limp mode and won't go over 15 miles an hour until I let it sit for a while then it will drive normally in the light will go back off. I tried J-B weld on the crack but it does not seem to work as I still feel hot exhaust coming out and I see some smoke Coming out of the heat shield
Matt R I'm not too sure about the cam/crank sensor but I do know that the TDC sensor could cause that limp mode. You should try to talk to someone a little more knowledgeable than me for this :p
So if you only get a down pipe and manifold how could you tell the rest of the exhaust is gonna fit
All of the dimensions are usually listed wherever you are purchasing it from. And if it's made for that exact make and model its gonna be pretty close.
Hi do you have the link on the header? Thanks
Where was the header from?
Just a cheap amazon header. If you get a cheaper one, I would suggest buying a gasket separately. The one that came with this was garbage. There is a link in the description.
Good thing it is an auto!!
Sara Estrada I disagree lol
I also disagree. Auto sucks
Everything fit good? No issues?
Not really any issues but the downpipe was just slightly shorter than the stock one. It still fit fine it was just a little difficult to connect it to the catalytic converter.
Did ur car sound any different?
Auto? Damn.
I agree!
Auto or manual it shouldnt matter respect a build for what it is and if its clean or not . . .my car is an auto and in our heavy traffic its a life saver now I do plan to start autocrossing and after the season I do want to get some freinds to help me yank the teans to swap it since parts for my car are everywhere
This was sick till I seen it’s automatic.
I would have to agree with you.
fair anoff , well doen tho it does look verry race car and boosted boyish. nice
What tool did you use godwilling
Sorry, tool for what specifically?
What engine is it?
Daniel Duran just the stock D16, nothing special :p
y8
Do you have to have custom gaskets
The kit came with some but they're not the best quality
Pass the smog?
Smog tests are not required in this state. I don’t see why it wouldn’t 🤷♂️
La cremallera no me dejo poner el sensor de oxígeno y le puse de tapon el tornillo que trae y me enciende la luz de check. Que puedo hacer, gracias.
Speak any English? Google translate is failing me on this one.
UnderTheHorizon he said he couldn't fit the o2 sensor and put a bolt that came with it where sensor goes, and his check engine light is on. His asking if you know how to resolve the plroblem.
Oh well the check engine light is on because he doesn't have his 02 sensor screw in. Does it say what the issue is? Is the o2 sensor too long, are the threads different, or are the wires not long enough. There should be 2 spots to put the sensor.
UnderTheHorizon not sure he didn't provide details
Solucionaste ese problema?
How heavy is the new heder than the old one?
We didn't weigh them but the old one was cast iron and the new one was steel so theres a pretty significant difference. My guess would be close to 10lbs.
@@jadehorizon1881 o
What brand ? Where did you purchase it ?
DNA motors, the link is in the description.
At least the size of the exhaust gasket I am having trouble finding that damn gasket! 😡
I might be a little late but you can get one on Amazon. They have tons of options.
Would it fit a 1997 Honda Civic dx
Victor Ramirez yes it would fit your honda!
Did the computer freak out when you ditched the O2 sensor?
We didn't ditch it all together, there were 2 places where the O2 sensor could be put. So we just relocated it to the lower spot.
So how did you bring the connecting harnesses where they needed to be?
Just unravelled the tape and pulled the wire down a little farther, u can avtually get quite a bit of slack. But you can also buy a longer one.
that irresponsible must use more security not only the hydraulic jack must put towers could have had an accident,otherwise they did good work.
Yeah we realized we forgot jack stands after the fact D: good thing nothing happened.
Where you get your hear’s at?
By "hear's" do you mean music? or are you talking about the headers?
i mean all the efot u put in.
This is my brother in laws car, I think he just wants it to look better, when he got it the car was a mess. Hes not going for power or anything it is his "bass car". Personally I agree with you though! But hey everyone likes diffierent things and everyone has different opinions.
I'm planning to order it does it make it more horse power?
On a V8? Yes about 30 with a full exhaust. On a small 4 cylinder about 10
where can I find the aspiration like yours? the name?
The aspiration for the name of my channel?

No jack stands lol?
Yeah I know. I have no idea how we forgot 😬 that was a very stupid mistake
All that for automatic.
Everyone is different with different preferences. The nice thing about modifying cars is that there are tons of options for everyone’s unique taste. He had his reasons for getting an auto car and just wanted to clean it up a little bit.
But hey, thank you for your opinion, everyone is entitled to one.
What brand ?
DNA motoring, there is a link in the description
Thats civic ex?
You did all that and it’s an auto? 😂😂😂
I’m just as disappointed
Are you selling your stock exhaust manifold?
Blaze Dela-Cruz do you need one ?
Why the fuck did you gut the auto lmao. You're tracking it?😂
Rico Justin gutted it so that he could sound-deaden it. It´s his bass car.
its an auto tho . i dont understand
Literally the easiest tranny swap ever. Chill out.
At !!!!! Swap bro !!! At for dummys
Lol
What about the sensor on the manifold?
Stock, the sensor does screw into the manifold but on the new headers we installed, there was an option to put the sensor on the down pipe. We wanted the bay to look more clean so we re-routed the sensor to the down pipe. That's what your question was referring to right?
did you need to make any mods or the lenght was enough to get there ?
No we didn't have to do any mods, but if you noticed when we were attaching the down pipe to the catalytic converter we did struggle a bit because it was slightly shorter than the stock one.
Jade Horizon what catalytic converter is it and where did you get it from?
I've got a crack in my exhaust manifold 2001 Honda Civic I was told that I should just replace the whole thing with the catalytic converter and manifold all in one piece. If on the road too long I get a check engine light p1361 top dead center sensor noise. Should I replace O2 sensor and camshaft position sensor when replacing this manifold and catalytic converter
Exhaust manifold on the front of the engine.. im jelous
Don’t be it’s not a UEL
A pure ricer...😂😂
What the fuck automatic HAHAHHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA
You gutted your automatic and are trying to build it to make it faster. Take off your door panels also. Less weight it will be faster. Lol😂😂😂
I believe his goal was just to make the engine bay look a little better. As for the gutting, also not for speed or weight savings he was in the process of adding sound deadening. :)
wtf is this auto mayonnaise bullshit?
