the itr is slightly bigger. they are interchangable, just don't buy the jdm one since it uses a shorter cat.
The tip is also different.

The LS exhaust has a ~1.86" diameter piping, while the ITR has 2.25" piping. Also, the ITR muffler is supposed have more flow and also has a slanted, welded tip.
As posted above, it's a direct bolt on to 94-99 LS/GS/SEs and 00-01 GSR's. For 94-99 GSR's the b-pipe will need to be extended ~ 4.5"

ahh, so i'll loose backpressure but will the car still sound as good? i know there would be no sound of the VTEC kicking in but, if i could get intake and exhaust, slap those on to make the car fun for awhile, and tehn when i do the motor swap it'll be all ready.

The ITR catback sounds pretty much stock, except at WOT, where it's louder than the LS catback. I chose the ITR setup mainly because of its quiet sound and its increased flow.

damn - wait a sec. i was talkin about the aftermarket stuff, like would an aftermarket Type R catback fit a stock LS.
i guess it would though, jsut by the transitive property, and common sense. i never really made that clear in the post, my bad

in terms of fitment of aftermarket exhausts, there is no difference between ones made to fit type r's, 94-01 non-vtec's, or 00-01 gsr's; they're all interchangeable. exhausts made for 94-99 gsr's are not.

Re: What's the difference between LS exhaust and Type R catback exhaust? (dFreezy)
so to bring this back up from the dead.....
My 94ls that I just got has the ITR exhaust. However, it has no cat and has a test pipe. It makes a horrible noise between 3-4k rpm and is just aggrivating. I need either a resonator or a cat. converter. My question is would a stock LS cat do the trick? This is also mating up w/ a Megan Racing header. I know the ITR is 2.25" but I'm not sure if a stock cat will work....or some sort of resonator for that matter.

Using the stock LS cat will create a bottleneck.

assuming that your megan header has a 2.25" - 2.5" collector, adding a LS cat would not only create a horrible bottleneck, but also a exhaust leak beucase the collector of the header is bigger than the inlet of the cat. so you'll end up with a very annoying ricey sputtering noise.

The B pipe is about 4.25 inches too short. It's stated above.

Re: What's the difference between LS exhaust and Type R catback exhaust? (milano2kdc2)
so...we're looking at an after market 2.5" cat, correct? I'm having trouble seeing what the deal is here since the ITR exhaust is 2.25....of course I could just be extremely stupid. Basically I'm just wondering the exact size I need here...whether a stock one of some sort will work, or aftermarket.

Yeah, that's the noise I'm dealing with now from 3-4k rpm's. It sounds excellent after that. I just need to know what I'm looking at needing to get for this cat and/or resonator for this exhaust. From the cat back is the itr exhaust, it's just that test pipe in b/t that and the header collector that's causing the problem.
