My 94 Honda Civic VX was robbed of it exhaust manifold while in a storage lot. Dealer says parts are discontinued. Finding some basic manifolds on ebay that say they’ll fit, cast iron $100. I’ve not had much luck finding parts for this specific model. I love the car, everything else runs smoothly at 220,000 miles. Do I try to fit a slightly rectangular peg in a square hole? Try to sell it to someone who wants to invest in it or use it for parts? I would be very sad to see it junked. Please advise. ![20210404_172055](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/6/2/62c2e407403a4c6985317330d43217f884144b4a.jpeg) ---

Rock auto has manifolds for 1.5 and 1.6 L Civics. Is yours different? ---

The exhaust manifold for a VX Civic is different than the others to mount the O2 sensor differently. These have the converter right there to that’s more likely what they were after, 1996-2000 Civic DX and LX used the same manifold from the discussion i’m linking to below. A aftermarket replacement for a 96 Civic is pictured.

Looks like std dx will fit. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/3/3/33578e8be281246478c2873fd391669a203691c7.jpeg) ---

If you’re curious, there’s a lot about the VX (made for high mpgs) here: [Honda Civic (fifth generation) - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Civic_%28fifth_generation%29) ---

wow! most modern hybrids would have to bow to VX’ MPG numbers, even revised ones! ---

This was above and beyond my expectation. Great information and renewed hope. I am continually amazed by the ingenuity that went into these cars. Thank y’all for the advice and guidance. Rockauto does have the parts I need but prices seem to vary. The O2 sensor alone is $237! There looks to be a more universal type for just $20. Is this just a matter of truly stock vs after market? It’s weird that the thieves cut the O2 sensor right at the base and then left it on the ground under the car… ![20210425_192543](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/e/7/e73f2bdc53a8fbcf95b21beba798713711242210.jpeg) ---

No different. 1.5, I think I’ve got the D15Z1. ---

Looks like the difference is being for California emissions vs federal, the 96 it’s the one for the manual transmission model that’s considerably more expensive.
