96-00 Civic Hatchbacks with B swaps...what full cat-backs will match up???? Skunk2, Invidia, etc...?
Title is pretty much the question. I just finished up my b18b1 swap in my 99 hatch and now need a full cat back. I dont want to get bent over at a local muffler shop for crappy pipes and some universal muffler. Im in the market for something brand name and full cat-back that will match up to the cat that is now under the car and not up where it used to be on the DX motor. I have reason to believe that Invidia and Skunk2 do, but I'm not sure if they are just saying J-Spec, and EK this and EK that to market it or if it is really made to accomidate a cat. Thanks for the help.

i hear that if you run an integra header, you can connect straight to an aftermarket cat back.
that would sound like **** and smell like it too though, quick fix though if you need to get down to a muffler shop

i have also searched high and low for this. i am pretty sure the only thing that will bolt WITH a cat is a CTR cat/b-pipe combo. just go custom....make sure you get a resonator though.

I bought a used DC sports catback with the Civic Si catalytic converter still attached from a local guy. Sold the axle back sectoin for $50 less than I payed for all of it, and am getting an axle back eventually. That is one route.
Or you could just buy a catback, and take it to the muffler shop so they can reweld the flange in the right place. You don't have to go custom as far as having one bent.

I got the fix...im gonna buy a Apexi World Sport cat-back which comes with 3 sections if remember correctly. I can use the Rear section and the next mid-pipe then get a nice third piece with a resinator made. And sell the Apexi piece, maybe.
