from a 00 civic si, into a 98 hatch, sorry about the title.

i know the coupe exhaust is too long, but how much cutting and hacking would i have to do to make it fit? in the end, is it worth it?

i thought the coupes were a couple of inches longer in piping, i could be wrong though.

IM ALL BOB

it matters what system you are speaking of.. some Coupe/Sedan Exhaust mufflers are just simply to large to fit in the rear area of a hatchback.. while some systems have longer piping and can be cut to fit

example: G POWER EXHAUST from Tanabe.. the coupe/Sedan Muffler is 6-8 inches longer in length compared to the Hatchback Version... I know from my own experience

well i think i just bought that exhaust. since my cars a DX i know im going to have to cut the cat off, but do you think the bends are in all the right places to fit in my hatch?

So will a 98 hatch exhaust fit a 94 coupe?

the coupe exhaust is about 5" longer. You'll have to hack the piping towards the back. Actually I had to have a muffler shop do some custom bending for me to make it fit. The muffler was never straight either. It pointed down towards the back. This was 98DX hatch I put a 96-98 coupe exhaust on. True, it was a Paceshitter cat back but it would have done the same on a Greddy.

I am running si exhuast on my ek hatch, had to cut the end off the piping after the muffler to make it fit, only problem is that the bend in the piping isnt dramatic enough and it hits the lca. so it clunks when you hit a large bump. So you might want to get some custom bending on that becuase it drives me nuts. Other than that look for ctr exhuast. Let me know if you find a good deal on them

so its not a total loss buying a si exhaust? im getting a pretty good deal on it (i think) and all i would need to do is get it hacked/put together from the axelback portion? thanks alot WCI
