The ebay headers come with a test pipe, at least mine did. Just use your stock cat when you do smog. :rockon:

well u say u have an lx i don't think a full cai is gonna benefit at all from it seeing as who the carbs like hot air and not cold it will prolly give u worse results than a short ram oh and id ike to see some pics of your set up

yup headers would help also exhuast...you can also order a delta cam....im not sure if it will pass smog tho.

Can you close your hood with that civic airbox lid there. I know when I tried it, i had to push down on the hood with my body just to get the hood to close. It didnt seem safe to have all of that pressure on the hood latch, so i made the clear lid that i have now.

EDIT: Nevermind, now that i look at it, i see that its not the original civic lid.
