What exhaust for a B18C5 in an EK hatch?
Hey everyone,
After wrecking my Type R, it's been some time before having a chance and opportunity to finally get an EK hatch to do the swap with. I'm considering to get the 'cat-back' exhaust right now for the EK until I finish building the motor/tranny. I so far don't have too many questions involving the engine/tranny swap itself, however, the one thing that has been on my mind is the exhaust. At this present time, my choices for a header are either the USDM Type R header, or I may just go all out and get an SMSP header.
My question is involving what 'cat-back' would I be looking to get if I use the Type R header? Would I need a custom lengthed cat? I also read somewhere that using a 'GSR' header and a stock DX cat-back exhaust mates right up and gets rid of the cat. I'm open to running without a cat, however I'd like to keep my options open. Any answers/help would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone ?
