why would it be. from the back of the cat it's all the same for your car. now everything from the cat to the engine is what makes the differences.

My vx exhaust matched perfectly to my B16 header,but I'm thinking if if the cat was at the end of the header on your cars stock exhaust you'd need the B16 cat to meet it,or a aftermarket.The VX cat is before the downpipe,not after the header.

no.
not with a b16.
if it was a gsr the header wouldnt match up, but that would have been a problem during the swap.

get the one for your civic.

you should still get a civic exhaust system. if you've got to shorten the midpipe a little bit, big deal.

just find like a muffler shop and have a 2.25 or 2.50 inch custom exhaust and if they can go under the axle not over it, it gets more flow, a b16 is a rev monster keep it up in the rpms and you will be happy

If you put a aftermarket exhaust on the VX with a swap you have to make a pipe to meet up with the header since the VX has a close coupled cat. I just had my exhaust put on before I did the swap and he made a nice test pipe for me so when I put in the new motor everything bolted up fine.

I have a 5zigen exhaust for an EG hatch for sale. I used it on my hatch with a b18c setup, and i did have to have a test pipe made.
