Default Apexi N1 catback Question

I'm deciding wheter i should buy an N1 catback from this guy but when i checked on Apexi with the part nubmer he gave me, it says that the catback is for Ex/Si coupes. I have a 97 Dx coupe. Will it fit? if not, wut is the problem? i'm thinkin of running it for my turbo so i'm gonna weld and fabricate the downpipe and such anyways. i'm mainly afraid that the pipe will bend in weird places and not fit up with my car.

The apexi exhaust is good for na but if ur gonna run a turbo, itd be a good idea to get a 3'' mandrel bent exhaust. Turbos love to breathe.The apex exhaust is only 2 1/4 or 2 1/2 i believe.
http://www.kteller.com has good piping kits that come with everything except the muffler and it has to be welded.I think that or a Thermal cat back would be ur best choice

the part number says it for ex/si because its a catback exhaust and since you have a dx your cat is actually your header so basically you do not have a cat under your car like an ex or a si would have...the bends are correct but you would have to change your header to a stock ex header and get a stock cat in order to install the exhaust but if your going turbo then you wont have to worry because the turbo exhaust manifold will replace your header/cat and just add a cat at the bottom with a three bolt flange so you can bolt up the apexi exhaust i hope i helped you out and not confuse you

how much boost are you planning on running... 2 1/2 might be ok if it is just mild boost.
