Default Motor swap in an EK, what about the exhaust and cat?

We all know that the design of the header/cat is different from others. If I do a motor swap, how will the header and new cat fit? I mean, I know to get a b series header, but what about the rest of the piping and cat? Here's my idea:

a B series header, a cat. coverter, and a cat back exhaust system for an EG hatch. I just eyeballed the piping for the EG compared to the EK and it looks like it'll work. Any comments? Ideas? HELP!?

For a while, i was using the complete ex cat and piping for a B16. Everything should bolt right up. I eventually got the midpipe from the SI and still using the D16 cat.

Yeah, in your case that sounds do-able beacuse the design of the EX. On a DX it's different because the cat is directly below the header, then you have a longer pipe that extends throughout the whole car until you reach the exhaust.

Well I was thinking of doing that too and just use an o2sim but I heard that runnin no cat puts out oders. And if the police catches a sniff of those oders then they can arrest you. Someone has to have a resolution out there! Or better yet, if anybody knows if a EG catback will fit an EK that'll make my life easier.
