ok...my friend just got his EG6. ( 96 DX hatch ) we popped the hood to see what we had to work with. and we see that his headers are 4 - to the cataylic converter....we are going to put a b18c1 in there...but we still want to make it legal..can we still put the cat under the car...? if we can...what kind of aftermarket exhaust to use?

1. eg6 is not a 6g hatch.

2. when you put a b18c1 in there, obviously you do not use the stock DX catalytic converter as it is integrated with the header.

3. use a b18c1 header (or a jdm 4-1 / aftermarket that will fit) with a b-series cat, or aftermarket cat. you can get custom piping done for the rest of the b-pipe

sorry. i meant EJ6

To be smog legal, you need to use all the smog equipment from the motor you're using (keep in mind, that motor must be a 96+). About the exhuast, you'll either have to go custom or possibly find a bolt on exhaust system for a CTR or SiR from Japan.

6ghatch

Also, for an exhaust, the only "bolt on" system would be either a 99-00 Civic SI b-pipe and any hatchback bolt on rear section or Type One sells an EK 2.5in b-pipe (again with muffler of your choice). All US spec catbacks or JDM catbacks will need to be shortened.

How come nobody just straight out say 96 civic hatch or 93 civic coupe. Does everyone have be cool and say EK and EG6?

egghead

because "ek" is 2 characters and "96 civic hatch" is 12 and 2 spaces.

NOSpeed97

A cat-back made for 96+ EX's should work on the hatch with minor modification near the cat (the cat will be under the car with your B-series swap) and a little shortening of the tail pipe or tip section if you don't want it sticking out so much.

6ghatch

A little shortening? A lot of shortening!!! Your better off just getting the exhaust for the 96-00 hatchback and cutting a little of the cat end.

Unjockable

Is 96 civic hatch so hard to type? How long does it take for you to type that?

kidkombo

i have a gsr in my car and what i used is a b16 header, an integra gsr coupe catalytic converter and a 92-95 si hatchback cat back....its a perfect bolt on. There is no need to shorten, lengthen or any of that other bullshit thats a waste of money.

I read and re-read this, and I can't understand what you are trying to say.

fowler!

If you're looking for a bolt on exhaust, I have Mugen Twinloop muffler and a mandrel bent b pipe. Came off a 00 hatch..all you need is a JDM type header (2.5" collector) and all is gravy...

Let me know if you're interested..

just get a dx hb catback exhaust and have a shop shorten the b pipe.
