Alright, so in class yesterday w/ my teacher I had my MIL (check engine) light on so we scanned the code and came up with the O2 Sensor S1 (Bank 1).

He immediately assumed it was the O2 sensor but today with my other teacher we took the heat shield off the manifold to get to the O2 sensor (because refrigerant lines are in the way, both high and low pressure side) and whadya know, the exhaust manifold is cracked...

my question is... where the hell can I get another one and how much do they generally go for?

Is a 2000 Civic SE a D16 or a B16 engine... im gonna assume B16 but I have no idea... its a 1.6L

its a d16....the b16s only come in the SiR and don't suffer from this all too common cracking exhaust manifolds like the 96-00 d16s do.

An aftermarket exhaust manifold is roughly $300 b/c it has the cat attached to it. Its pretty easy to replace if the bolts aren't rusty and break.

A manifold from honda is like $1000+.

This is a super super super common problem with these year civics and if you have your car for long enough, you'll prolly experience this again.

I just changed another cracked manifold on my cousins 00 civic LX. This one lasted her about 3 years. We used another aftermarket manifold b/c she prolly won't have the car for another 3 years.

try look for aftermarket, but it usually can't pass emission after 2 to 3 years. but the price i'm not sure.

I bought the ones i've used from A&A Discount Automotive Parts in Hamilton for $300

It should still pass e-test after 2 to 3 years.

ya, there was nothing wrong with the cat (on my cousins car), its just that the manifold cracked again....her car passed emissions no problem. The problem IS however, if your CEL is on, technically they shouldn't even run your car for the etest.

is there anywhere online i could order an aftermarket manifold from? I find that any online parts dealer will not ship to canada....

Is this for a D16 vtec or non vtec? If its for the d16y8 vtec motor, i have a 99 exhaust manifold for you. Let me know

try Rock auto parts (google it)

I have got struff from them before for a buddies car.

those manifolds has a recall on them. Just go there and they will replace it for free. but beware!! they will try to charge you for something that they can find. like the heat shield or o2 sensor seizing into the exhaust manifold. Just my 2 cents.

I think it was covered for up to 7 years or 150,000kms (but don't quote me), my cousins 2000 civic wasn't going to be replaced for free b.c its 9 years old.

hmmm i should check mine....
my 00 si threw a cel tuesday. havnt got around to checking what the code is.
i have a feeling my cel is from my o2 or my cat. i broke a baffle in december, havent bothered replacing the cat yet.

300$ ?, i got a aftermarket header from ebay with a cat for about 160$ shipped at my door. The manifold was decently made and Tig welded all around. 4-2-1 and 2.5"
