Exhaust swap from a 97 EX to a 96 LX?
I think from what I have read so far that this should be an exact swap but wanted to ask first to make sure. I am looking to swap the exhaust system from the front flange of the lower mid section converter all the way back to the tail pipe from a 97 Accord EX to my 96 LX. The 97 EX is a 4 door sedan and my 96 LX is 2 door but from what I gathered the length of both vehicles are identical at 185.6". Also I noticed the EX uses the F22B1 V-tech and my LX is the non v-tech F22B2 version. The only thing I have gathered on this is there are some differences with the downpipe between the two models but nothing as far as from the mid section converter on back?
Is there anything that I am missing that would prevent me from doing this or am I correct that this would be a direct swap? I think the EX uses a dual outlet tip vs. my single outlet but that's all I can tell so far. I was also thinking about the location of the pipe hangers as well if that is different.
Thanks for any info...

From the catalytic converter back is the same length and fit.
Part numbers may differ as the resonator and muffler may be different designs, they will still fit.
