You'd probably get a little better response, etc...but for real gains upgrade to mpfi, its not that hard!

4 INJECTORS ARE BETTER THAN 2!

you'll get double the hp..........just playing

seriously UPGRADE to mpfi.......the gain will be cheaper and you will gain more than just a full exhaust system

PSHT Whatever...the mighty DP will take any car on the street...LOL

I have put an exhaust on my DP (motor swap is coming so don't MPFI me ) and I notice maybe better response but the gains are minimal...and the butt dyno gives me no signs of increased power.

I don't think you can. I think those are saturated type injectors rather than peak and hold type in the crx and 4th gen civics that use resistor packs, but I have never tried it so I don't know for sure.

Yeah, you can use the MPFI off the 92 CX. It will just take a lot more work to make it run. If you have the MPFI off the 92, you should get everything off except the injectors and use it. MPFI was the best modification I ever did to any D-series. I would never keep DPFI on another car again. It's cheap(Usually), it's easy, and it makes a very noticable difference. I'd say spend your money on MPFI LONG BEFORE you put echaust on your car.

MPFI
Si tranny
Boost.

In that order or else.

I noticed a slight difference with a zc cam and an axle-back exhaust on my STD, and noticed a huge difference from the mpfi which ran me about 250 dollars to complete including parts and supplies.

I would start with MPFI, then get an SI tranny, swap the cam and then do the exhaust.
