Default -Exhaust Sections for Swap Mating--

I just had a LS swap into my EG, with the stock headers. I ordered the Apexi WS Catback for the EG. So there is going to be a gap between the headers and the start of the catback. Does anyone make a direct fitment cat or testpipe for this. Thanks

It should bolt up just like stock provided you have a 1992-1995 Civic Si/DX cat convertor and the LS header.

The only swap that makes you have to customize your exhaust is a GS-R swap, because for some reason the header is too short underneath the car. the rememdy for this is to simply buy a Type R header if you ever get a GS-R engine.

Do you mean that you don't have a cat at all now?

Nope, the shop weleded a small adapter from the LS Headers to the Stcok CX exhaust.

Yikes.

Did they also cut the flange off of your header? If so then those guys are dumb asses.

If they left the header flange then I'd be buying a 2.5'' Magnaflow cat and having the shop weld flanges to it and then have it installed like a factory bolt-in piece to the exhaust you got.
