Thanks for the how to. I almost had to do this on my 98 dx since it had a crack in the same place. I didn’t have any engine running issues and the car passes CA smog very well. But it did have bad gas mileage (200 miles on a tank). Come to find out when I was taking it off to have the crack welded, the o2 sensor came off very easily. I retightened it and I have my good mpg back. Hoping to not have to replace or have it welded.

My MPGs are only 25 in this auto y7. Wonder if it'll be restored a little. I'll have to keep track of it.

That manifold is cool, glad they redesigned to make it 2 piece, easy to make a "track/test pipe" too if it's desired.

Had the same issue. I replaced mine with a two piece unit as well. The problem I ran into with the two piece unit is after time the gasket breaks down and you end up with a pretty bad leak. Replacement gaskets were nowhere to be found and making my own only lasted months at a time. I ended replacing it AGAIN with a 1 piece unit from Rockauto...I believe the one piece is from magnaflow.

I had a 98 EK and when I installed an aftermarket 4-2-1 header on it, the oem header also cracked in that same spot. The O2 sensor was a real pain to get off the header, I used PB Blast to help with getting it loose

I do currently own a 2012 lx 5speed and a 94' gsr. The gsr was a one owner before I bought it and had not been modified in any way. He sold it to me for $1000 and I drove it home. It needs some regular maintenance items replaced. It's work in progress lol

They crack because the cathalitic converter is too close to the head. Cathalitic converters get hotter than the cylinder heads so is fighting the cooling system and that provokes the crack. Is better have the cathalitic converter where the EX have it.
