I dont think anyone has made one cuz it needs to be welded on I believe. If its a bolt on, then bolt it on lol

Idk what it is but it's an easy bolt on part or it needs to be welded. Only 2 possible choices...if u can do both, you're golden

Well is it possible to say weld it on and if something goes wrong, weld back on the original stock one to where my dealership wouldn't be able to tell???

im pretty sure all you have to do is, jack up the front or use ramps, and loosen the bolts on the stock cat and replace it with the hfc.

I know with my custom dual setup my HFC is welded on. I would think that a dealership would be able to tell a custom weld job cuz the stock system doesn't have fresh welds lol

Well I mean the civic was 3 bolts in front and 4 in back and push the back of the exhaust backwards toward the rear a lil bit and place the new hfc in and place back in the O2 sensor and bolt back in. I rele hope I can just bolt instead of weld.

IT'S BOLT ON!!
Two bolts on each end. One end is the header, the other is the resonator. You'll need jacks for the front. Everything can be reached from the bottom fairly easily.

I'd use a full size service lift, would make things much easier.
