Hi,

Can anyone please take a picture of there stock Catalytic converter and a picture of where there oxygen sensor is screwd in? i'm trying to figure out if my car has stock parts and where to put my O2 sensor for my greddy headers... I have a 1995 Accord EX 2.2L SOHC VTEC so your car must be same model and specs

 

there is no o2 sensor in the catalytic converter on that car. its jsut before it.

 

ok,
Thats what I thought... but the guy who had the honda before me put different exaust on it so i see no place to put the o2 sensor(he put on i believe an lx or dx catback and header exaust manifold from junkyard) so... thats my problem i can find no freaking place to put o2 sensor.

 

you can always have an exhaust shop weld in a bung for you so you can screw in an 02 sensor.. or you can buy another oem cat or look into a carsound cat :thumbup:

 

the o2 sensor is placed on a small 8 inch long pipe that comes before the cat and after the header downpipe. the exhaust should have nothing to do with the o2 sensor. here is the order if you are confused.

header, small 8 inch pipe with o2 sensor attached, catalytic converter, and your exhaust piping and muffler.


your car is obd1 so you dont have a second o2 sensor after the cat so no need to worry. you only have the one in front of it. i replaced everything with dc cc header, carsound cat, and RS*R catback by myself so i know it pretty well. i also did the work by myself, with no help, in 5 hours. pretty good for a first timer i believe.

 

Ok
Thanks whoaitslen2 and AccordCoup94 for the replies, you totally made it click :: I will have the exhaust place weld a bung. Also whats this about a carsound cataltyic converter? Wheer can I get one and do they work well?

 

excuse the spelling errors... going to work in 1 minute must hurry.

 

carsound is just the brand name for a "hi-flow" catalytic converter. it is larger in diameter and the catalyst is recessed into the the side walls of the converter so that exhaust gases can flow through easier.

 

My 96 has two O2 sensor. One sensor where the exhaust manifold joins into one and one in the stock cat convertor.
