hybrid intake/headers/cat/exhaust question
well didnt much of a response in the civic forum so i thought id ask you guys - you always seem to help me out w/ my problems 
---------------------------------------------------------
Alritey so I am basically buying some bolt on parts for my new motor (b18c1) into an 5th gen hatch. Anyways basically Im adding along headers/intake/exhaust as I dont feel the need for more power - rather focus on suspension and brakes afterward.
Anyway my thoughs for my setup are as follows : JDM DC/or JDM 4-1 , Carsound Cat (good choice, what does it need to bolt up to the JDM 4-1's?), Apex'i WS Exhaust.
now my main question is that when u buy the WS exhaust how will the piping attache to the carsound cat as its 2.5inch in diameter, does anything need to be modified. And if so what?
Also for intake - dont really feel like running an AEM, as i know alot of b18c1 hybrids into an EG (EH) have problems with it. What kind of modification wuld it take for a comptech ice box to fit in or what OEM airbox should I use..??
thanks all

Re: hybrid intake/headers/cat/exhaust question (navin)
the cat will need an extension welded on to it. As for the intake, you can use a GSR rubber intake and a DX airbox with a c-clamp to hold the gsr elbow onto it.

any normal muffler shop can weld an extension on correct?

Here's another option... I just installed pretty-much the same setup. I'm running on a test pipe only because I haven't gotten a cat fixed yet and am not driving the car much.
Anyway, the best solution is to just get the cat made to right length from the start. Start out with a 2.5" cat. Get one end flared to connect to the 2.5" collector, then have them flange it to bolt up the the 60mm exhaust. http://www.ipsracing.com</a> can hook you up with a carsound made to your specs. <A HREF="http://www.testpipe.com" TARGET="_blank">http://www.testpipe.com can also make a converter to these specs. If you use tp.com, make sure to stress that you need the collector end flared more than normal. They won't flare it enough if you don't.
Be sure to get the donut gasket for the 2.5" collector.
I believe the correct length turned out to be 14" from inside flange edge to inside flange edge... you'll probably want to test this for yourself. Of course, the easiest thing to do is just drive the car to a muffler shop that has all the needed parts and they can fabricate it and bolt everything up.
