Ill assume that yours cracked.
You have to purchase a replacement manifold with a catalytic converter bolted up to it. It is usually a one piece set up. It costs about $300 after market or about $500 OEM from Honda.
To replace it:
-Remove the primary o2 sensor with a 22mm socket
-Remove the secondary o2 sensor at the end of the catalytic converter
-Remove the 12mm bolts that connect the manifold to the head
-Remove the 14mm bolts with spring that connect the down pipe to the exhaust
-Wiggle it out through the bottom or the top
-Reinstall the new one using these steps but in reverse.
Depending on the location and size of the crack, you may be able to have it welded shut or you may have to replace the manifold.
it is in the exhaust manifold,or exhaust pipe...
It varies.. At a dealership $900 - 1200 Non-dealership: I have seen it quoted for $750
The manifold is considered before the catalytic converter.
Os sensors are always in the exhaust. Look either in the exhaust manifold or right after the exhaust manifold. HTH
in the catalyc converter... exhaust manifold
You will need the intake and exhaust manifold gaskets. I would also install new head bolts.
If you open the hood of your Honda Civic, most likely you will locate the oxygen sensor (O2) mounted in the exhaust manifold, above the exhaust pipe flange. On some models the exact location might vary, but you can always find the sensor by following the exhaust manifold and pipe. Depending on the year model of your Honda Civic, you may find a Primary Oxygen Sensor (PHO2) right before the catalytic converter and a Secondary Oxygen Sensor (SHO2) right after the catalytic.
its located between the intake and exhaust manifold to the left side of the hood.
Yes, but they are the same size so it will not make a difference if you are looking for performance. But if you are looking to replace a faulty exhaust system, then you are fine.
its on the left side of the exhaust manifold it should have a wire leading to it
It is underneath the car, at the exhaust manifold where it comes off the engine...access it from the bottom
