What is stock exhaust size on 98 EX Vtec VS 97 LX non-vtec?
I have a theft recovery 98 EX Vtec and the aftermarket exhaust was stolen from the rear suspension back area.
I have a 97 LX with the non-vtec motor. It looks like it has a muffler shop crushed-bent style exhaust on it that is in nice shape.
Will the crushed bent LX exhaust bolt up to my EX downpipe properly? and will it be large enough or does the EX motor require larger diameter exhaust?
If it will fit I plan on just swapping the LX exhaust over to the EX civic from the downpipe back.

96-00 coupe/sedan all have the same exhaust, with the exception of the location of the cat. search it

The LX mid-pipe is longer than the EX mid-pipe. The LX mid-pipe will bolt directly to your stock EX downpipe, but you will end up having no cat.

at the end of the exhaust manifold, underneath the car.
lx and dx cats are on the exhaust manifold itself.

the EX/SI exhaust is the same diameter the SI has a tip on the muffler
the LX/DX are smaller by .25 inch i believe

do you know what the stock diameter is on either?
The previous owner of this 98 EX put some humungo exhaust on it... looks like 2.25 or 2.5 which seems waaay to big to me...
