i was going to buy an eg today

everything stock but a ls motor/tranny from a 98 ls, intake and skunk2 exhaust

this exhaust is a full stianless steel i don't know where it starts but he said it was the full stainless steel exhaust

now this thing was not just loud it was obnoxious...only reason i didn't not buy it right on the spot everything else was basically perfect but the paint

i was wondering if i could fit an ls oem exhaust onto this eg, its a vx if that matters
or can i bolt up an oem exhaust from another car


would i have to bend it to make it fit, is it an easy job?

i basically have no skills when it comes to mechanical stuff, but my friends already said they'd be willing to help out/ weld if anything needs to be done


what model car should i pull the exhaust off of, i think i can find one in a junk yard for cheap

also how much would i be able to sell the skunk2 exhaust for?


thanks in advance and if you need to know any info on the car i'll try my best to answer them.....and yes i am an extreme noobie

nobody wants to help?

nothing other than a hatchback exhaust is going to bolt right up.all of the stock hatch exhausts are pretty restrictive,so keep that in mind.
if you want to fit an Integra exhaust,you will need to cut and reweld parts of it.also,i'm not sure the muffler will even fit in the space you have on a hatchback.
you could take steps to make the exhaust on the car less obnoxious.does it have a resonator?cat?does it come with a silencer,or can one be fitted to it?

yes there is a silencer but i don't really know how much it'll help
he didn't have it on hand

also i don't plan on racing or tracking it at all so being restrictive won't really matter

but what you said about the ls exhaust is what i wanted to know

how much work do you guys think it'll be to fit an ls exhaust on there?

i'd try the silencer first-they usually knock the sound down quite a bit.
for the integra exhaust,first i'd measure to make sure the muffler will even fit.i had a stock GSR muffler i was going to put on my hatch a few years ago.if i remember correctly,it was too long to fit.besides that you'd have to shorten the backpipe and axle section.
the stock exhaust off an Si hatchback is your best bet as it will bolt right on,and be the least restrictive OEM exhaust that doesn't have to be modded.
another option is to replace the Skunk muffler with something quieter.that'd be pretty simple(easier than modding the Integra exhaust to fit)and will retain the most performance.

ok few more questions

will the si exhaust bolt right up to the ls motor? or how would i get it to fit cut/weld some stuff?

it depends on if the previous owner used a cat/test pipe,or if they extended the exhaust to fit without one.
best case scenario,i'd try to get the cat with the exhaust when you find one.that way you have everything you need.
worst case scenario you'll have to buy a $25 Ebay test pipe(or make one if you have a friend that can weld) to bridge the gap between the exhaust and header.
