In short, yes. It will fit. They're "universal" fit to the OE exhaust.

You can probably find a cheaper one, or one that comes in a package deal with something else, though. Look a bit more on eBay, they're around.

You need to contact the seller and ask these questions.

But i wanna know did anyone ever installed a Preformance header on their Civic VXs, i need to know what brand is a direct bolt to the oem piping on without the welding etc.....
some brands say i need to cut and weld.

GOod luck man should sound pretty nice on there

Well, there is the issue that the VX's exhaust manifold is a short log-type, with a catalytic converter right there.

In order to retain a catalytic converter, you'll have to get one from another 5th gen model and fit it to your exhaust, then that header will fit.

The thing I don't remember is whether or not your downpipe is long enough to make up the distance between the catalytic converter and the rear pipe section. You'd have to look into that yourself.

just get a cat welded on further back in the exhaust

[Christ]

The cat bolts onto the header. It either bolts on in front of the engine, or it bolts on under the shifter assembly attached to the downpipe. In the case of the header that is displayed, it bolts on to the downpipe under the car.

The main problem is your engine runs slow enough most of the time that a header like that is to big, it's like a little kid trying to play a tuba (really, exhaust systems fallow the same rules as wind insterments, not the rules of constant flow and restrictions) this engine also has lean burn and runs rather cool so it needs the catolitic converter close to the head to keep it hot enough to keep it from clogging and needing to be replaced.
