NO, you would have to modify the piping.

There are 3 N1's for Civic/Integras (Not including the new SI or RSX)
1 for Integra Coupes
1 for 92-00 Civic Coupe & Sedan
1 for 92-00 Civic Hatchback

None of the 3 are interchangable without decent modification. To put one of them onto a model they aren't setup for they would all need new piping to the canister and for the Hatch the Tip is a few inches shorter so that would need to be modded too.

Save money and just get one made for your model car.

yeah you would have to modify it, and also the tip for the dc2 is longer than the hatchy versions

Ok - had the chance to compare the two today (EM1 and DC2)... They are very close except that the EM1 has a little bit longer canister and tip. The DC2 will still fit on the EM1 but the muffler tip sits 2-3" inside the bumper (it's not flush).

yeah i think on the Ek hatch model, the pipe tends to turn straightaway, and with the dc models the pipe goes straight and then curves.. but i also heard that the tip for dc models are longer and wud stick out on eks

Possibly, depends on how they mate the new piping to the N1, size of piping they use, and also it makes a difference which way they weld it, if they weld it up with mild steel wire vs SS wire the welds will rust over time.

Like I said you'd have to modify it, you have to extend it about 4-5 inches and change the hangers to get it to center up.

Civic Coupe/Sedan (EK4, EM1) won't fit, canister is too long and tip is too long, piping also needs modifying.

Same deal with the DC2 model, Canister would fit but tip needs about 2-3" taken off it and the piping needs to be modded, hangers would also most likely need aligning.


To sum it up like this, Even if you find a Spoon N1 for a cheap price, say $200, its still not worth it because to get someone to hack it up and weld it back up and use the right stuff (SS Piping, Flanges, hangers and Wire) it's going to cost you almost as much or as much as a new one that would simply bolt on. New one is about $350 with a silencer.
