Default B18b into 93 hatch......bolt up to stock exhaust?

I must suck at H-T search.

Will a B18b full conversion from Hmotorsonline.com bolt straight up to my stock DX hatch exhaust? My searches say it won't reach the LS header. If that's true, what's the easiest way to get it to work?

I had a '99 B18B installed into my '96 EK, exhaust reached, but I had to get a new flange welded on to the DX side so it would line up the bolts to the flange on the B18 manifold. Or you can just fabricate a new 2.25" mid section with new flanges all the way to muffler(aftermarket I presume)...

I know for a fact that the 96+ LS exhaust manifold is a bit shorter and won't reach.

Easiest way to fix it, is take it too your local muffler shop and have them add a short length to the exhaust piping. I just had them bend me up a full 2.25" system after i completed my swap.

You do realize that by bolting it to your stock exhaust you are creating a MAJOR bottleneck, right?

Yes.

I may step up to a bigger system down the road if necessary. The car is just a daily driver, so I'm not too worried about power production right now.
