Hello my name is chris, and I need help. I have a 1995 Civic EX coupe (D16Z6) and the header to the cat back is not properly sealed. It makes a rattling noise everytime the car is in idle. What can I do to quiet the rattling from the Header to the stock Cat back Exhuast? Any Suggestions Accepted!!! Thanks!

If you are certain that this is the spot causing the rattling, just replace the gasket. Just take it in to an auto supply store they will find you a replacement (about $10).

Do you have an aftermarket header or catalytic converter? Is the rattling coming from in between the header and converter, or between the converter and exhaust piping? If it's just the stock manifold causing the rattling, a new gasket should fix it. Look under your car and see if the bolts are still on and not broken. The gasket between header/converter are like $10-$15. They look like a thick O, and have a curved lip on them. I've had every problem possible since I installed my exhaust, so I can pretty much answer any question you have about the mess down there.
