Modification to OBX Header

I just ordered an OBX SS header for my 1997 2.2CL off of Ebay. Just wondering if this has to be bent for a 4-cylinder or if it is a direct bolt-on with no modification necessary? I've searched and all I see are comments about the V6 headers needing to be bent.

$170 shipped. From what I've seen, that's a reasonable price. Comes with all the necessary hardware to install. There's quite a few auctions right now on 94-97 4 cyl. Accord OBX headers...

BTW, is there anything I have to look out for when installing the header on a 2.2 or is it pretty easy?

Stainless steel or ceramic? Sorry to harrass ur thread, but i wnna buy some soon.

About the install, its not that hard, you are going to have a hell of a time with rusty bolts. I remeber changing them on my 90civic, i used 1/2 a bottle of liquid wrench before i started to save time.

Stainless steel. I've heard these last longer and they were just a few bucks more than ceramic.
