catback confusion

[th3dynasty]

i have a hatch with a b-series. what model civic should i use to order off of. because the exhaust for a d-series ek and different a from the si because of the header. so which one do i choose???? or could a system for a different car fit this.

buy the catback exhaust for your chassis
buy a header for your engine

^^

basically an ek9 exhaust system

 

[Sammo115]

wouldnt that mean his bpipe would be a bit longer? Since the EK hatches all had their cats mounted right under the header as one unit

Id say. Go to a muffler shop and have them fab up " custom " bpipe and choose which ever axle back you want.

 

[CHILD]

No. The point where the header with the integrated cat meets with the exhaust, is at the same place as ex header with the rear bolted on cat, and also at the same place the EK9 exhaust meets

what would be the advantage of a catback system and what would be the effect my ek if just put a muffler on a stock mid pipe would it sound bad?

 

[Esotericimage]

are you going for fart can sound or performace?

 

[ekblack97]

ah ok! so what's a descent catback exhaust w/c is not that expensive?

 

[CHILD]

apexi' WS2

 

[ekblack97]

how much are they?

 

[Docta2002]

Muffler only give you noise, full exhaust will perform better than stock and be lourder than it as well.

ekblack97, dude, shop around for prices...

 

[ekblack97]

yes Doc im trying to shop on the web what brand would you recommend?

 

[CHILD]

i got my WS2 for 413 shipped from thmotorsports.com back at the beginning of the year

 

[Sammo115]

No. The point where the header with the integrated cat meets with the exhaust, is at the same place as ex header with the rear bolted on cat, and also at the same place the EK9 exhaust meets

Are you sure? Because when wanted use an aftermarket header on my DX Hatch id have to cut my b-pipe a bit so that it would allow me to use a cat?

As you can see. the length is different

the first exhaust set is the [ DX , CX ]<--Hatches, LX [ Coupe, Sedan ]
Second one is the EX [ Coupe , Sedan ]

 

[CHILD]

^^^ you're right there.

Since a header with an integrated cat isnt being used, you shouldn't buy an OEM exhaust meant to match with the integrated cat.

I have never seen a company offer a catback exhaust that was meant for the OEM dx header. My WS2 was ordered for a dx coupe and its designed to bolt up to the cat and not the OEM dx header

 

[Sammo115]

Yeah. Ive been confused on this subject for awhile when at the time I was thinking of doing a swap haha. Now just sticking with the good o'l sohc. [ Boosting soon ]

 

[th3dynasty]

so if i order the exhaust for a dx hatch i should be alright?
