grrr! header problem!!!

So my friend had some dc sport headers from a 94 accord EX, they were still pretty good , but the downpipe was bent a little from lowering the car too much :o , so I asked him if he could bring em over and he sed okay, we can try them on. So i spent a good 30minutes takeing off the headers which was easier than I though with the exception of a few stubborn bolts. He finnaly came and i noticed that dc headers use a 4-2-1 system, my stock accord was a 4-1, so i was like crap, we couldn't use my down pipe. So he got the old downpipe which was dented terrebly on one side, and took off the downpipe, but then compairing the two pipes, I realized the dc downpipe was totaly different than my stock, the DC headers where for an EX model accord, not an LX since the bolt patters was wayyyyy off. Dissapointed, i put everything back.

Is there "special" headers for my LX? why are they like that? Some headers on Ebay say that LX an EX are the same, I.E. "NEW HEADER HEADERS HONDA ACCORD 94-97 LX EX", can I buy those without worry?

This is a picture of the part i'm having problems with:
When I looked at my downpipe, the bolts pattern where 90 degrees parallel to the ground, these are like 45 degrees slanted from the ground :
