I was wondering if the the exahust manifold from a EX 1998 will fit a LX 1998 (stock part)? I am looking for a replacement to my girl's civic which is a 98 LX and a member here is selling me an exhaust he does not need out of a EX but he is not sure it is the same thing. If its not exactly the same will it be much problem to make it fit?

no.. lx/dx/cx has the cat on the manifold, ex has the cat under the car. they are not interchangeable.

if u get the header of an ex it'll bolt up but you will need to also get the cat and do something about extending the lower o2 sensor.
