i'm going to be doing an 95 LS swap into my 95 civic coupe DX...which cat do i need to use? plus i have a full cat back apexi exhaust..can i just reuse my stock dx cat? or will it be too short? and if i do switch out the cat will my exhaust still bolt up to the integra cat flange? thanks in advance and for your time...peace

oh yea..wats a goo trans to use with it? thanks again

 

wow this is amazing

 

if your stock cat dont fit, just custom a extension pipe to fit

 

I would use a GSR Transmission, bolts directly on, and the gear ratios are tight as Hell. We had the same set-up in our Hatch before we went to the H22A.

As for the Catalytic Conveter... Damn, we just welded in a Flex-Pipe

 

thanks for some of the responses...anyone else.?

 

well i got the carsound cat of ebay brand new on my 93 coupe and it works perfect for my lil d15b vtec . when i ran straight pipe i didnt have any luanching power becuase there was no torque(no back pressure). now that i have that cat its like a new motor, not a torque monster but enough for me

bump cause i would like to know for when i do my ls swap too...

 

bump new day

 

just weld in a little extension or make yourself a TEST PIPE baby,

o yeah use a gsr trans trust me it was a major improvement

 

test pipe = illegal and makes us breathe crap.... high flow cat from magnaflow = 55 shipped on ebay + 50 or so in welding.

 

so your saying that i can't reuse my civic cat for the swap? but i would still be able to use my cat back right?

up up up up up

 

its ok man just take a deep breath, alright listen. You can use the stock cat and your catback however, in order for it to hook up to the integra header, you need to weld about a 2 to 2 1/2 inch extension from the header the the cat. thats what i did. Or you can by the integra cat and im not sure but you might be able to get away without welding. either way, u can still use your catback exhaust. Just do what i did and weld the 2 inch pipe trust me its cheap

 

just one question just cuz its bothering me. but you have 4000+ posts but you dont know this?

well i really never had to look for it or do it

 

could i just get away without welding if i just got a LS cat?

 

sorry dude, i didnt mean to be an *** or anything i was just wondering i guess. but instead of buying an ls cat just spend 40 bucks at a muffler shop and the rest taking ur girl out for dinner

 

so then wat happens if i wanna get an aftermarket header? i dont wanna have to chop that up just to extend the down pipe to the cat...it would be better just to buy the ls cat right?

 

1st off, a downpipe is only on a turbo
2nd, ur ls exhaust manifold is gonna be just as long as an aftermarket header so if u did weld a piece to the cat to extend, it would be good still if u got an aftermarket header.
3rd, im tired of trying to tell u the right way man, just make ur own mistakes, thats the only way ur gonna learn whether it be wasting money or when something dont fit right. we all went through that misery, its just something u have to deal with in this hobby

 

thanks for your help ppl....will keep u updated on wats going on.
