sup guys I have a question for those with EX Sedans coz Im currently having some issue with my car. i looked under my car and my cat is lower than the chassie..does anyone know if this is normal.. pls post pics..thanks

here is a picture of how my cat is lower than my chassie..

It Wasn't Me

Doesn't look abnormal to me. The cat isn't supposed to be completely tucked up into the chassis.


Not too sure about the rest of the exhaust, though. Could just be the angle the photo was taken from, but something about it looks strange to me.

JDM Pnoy03

really? coz like i tried looking under my friends em2 and couldnt find his cat til he actually showed me where it is..could that be a possibility that sedans and coupes are different??

yea the mid pipe hangs low too the shop didnt do a good job in installing them..

Do you both have EX Civics? If so, then there should be no difference. If he doesn't have an EX, that would be a huge difference.

JDM Pnoy03

yes we both have EX..his doesnt look anything like mine

It Wasn't Me

Is his exhaust stock? If not, that's probably why it looks different than yours.

JDM Pnoy03

even if his exhaust is stock I dont think its gonna make any difference.

Umm... the very nature that it isn't stock would make it different then yours, if yours is stock.

JDM Pnoy03

ok..I got what you mean..but uhm we both have stock exhaust..could it be a possibility that sedans have lower cat than coupes coz I've talked to another friend of mine who has a coupe and he said his is flush with the chassie..

^^ talk to another person that has a sedan.

Have you inspected your motor mounts? They're prone to wearing out, and could cause the exhaust to sit lower.

JDM Pnoy03

thats what im doing right now actually asking people with the same car as me

JDM Pnoy03

actually no..il inspect it when i got the chance..thanks

looks normal to me, mine hangs about the same. Clean chassie btw.

Is it missing the hanger?

JDM Pnoy03

cool..so that means that sedans do differ from coupes..can u snap a pic if you dont mind?

JDM Pnoy03

no..all the hangers are there..

01_civic

here's my coupe. I guess yours is slightly lower than mine. Do you have a catback installed?







Hope it helps, damn it was cold outside lol

JDM Pnoy03

thanks bud! yea looks like mine is a bit lower than yours..I have an axle back exhaust with custom mid pipe..

Your custom mid-pipe could be adding weight and pressure to force the cat down a bit. Did you make the mid-pipe, or did a shop custom make one for you? They could have heated the exhaust hangar, to make the cat. sit lower as well.

Custom mid-pipe isn't stock.

Yours doesn't seem to bend up right after the cat. It looks like it bends but, horizontally instead of vertically.

See if the hanger can be bent up.

if it doesnt get like this, you'll be fine.

a shop did it..they've cut my old midpipe then weld a custom one from the cat to the axle back..

JDM Pnoy03

yea they didnt do a good job putting on the midpipe..il try and ask a shop to reweld the hangers and make the pipe higher and see if that helps..

Mine hangs and my EM2 is slammed..
