I know its not a direct bolt on, but i need a clear answer on this.

what is the difference between exhaust for a 96-00 hatch, and 96-00 coupe?

i searched, and about 50% say that the axle back portion is too long.

the other 50% say that the b-pipe is too long.

who is right?

thanks

 

I think it is just the rear section (axle back) that is different..I dont have any experience on this so u probably shouldnt trust me.

 

what about the axle back section?

thanks for the help

 

Yes the axleback is to long for the coupe.
You can have a shop mod it but I dont mess
like the idea of having it cut and rewelded.

I thought coupe and HB exhausts were interchangable? At least for the 5th gens they are right? That information right there would have led me to believe that all coupe/hatch exhausts were interchangable.

 

have yet to find a clear answer

thanks for the help though

 

PM ceasar of mgineering he modded a ek9 spec II to fit his coupe. I think he told me he had to get a muffler shop to add some pipe towards the middle(in the b-pipe section)

 

that's funny, b/c everything i've heard about the hatch and coupe is the hatch's axle back piping isn't long enough.

 

i used the type r buddyclub spec 3 exhaust. it fits perfect just need to move the hangers

 

^^what?

itr? or ctr? on coupe or hatch? and move the hangers where?

 

i was looking at the buddy club spec iv for my 95 coupe and i was having the same question so i decided to call buddy club and this crazy asian dude in their exhaust department told me to buy the exhaust for the sedan b/c the hangers are 95% the same and then i would need to either buy a shorter cat or get a test pipe. apparently the exhaust routing for the sedan and coupe are the same and the sedan is just slightly longer.

idk about you but i always trust crazy asian dudes when it comes to cars and computer games.

that kinda helps, but im looking for the difference between 96-00 hatch and coupe ehxaust

thanks for the help

 

Hatch exhausts are too short for coupes, The B pipes might be the same but for shure the axle backs for hatches are way shorter!

Coupes and Sedans 92-00 all use the same exhaust

 

so in this thread:

4 people say the axle back portion is different
3 people think the b-pipe needs to be modded
2 people thought they were interchangeable....

anyone else &gt;?

 

i used the integra type r(dc2) exhaust. if u use the ek one, the axle back part will run short. thats was happened to me. I though the ek9 one would fit but it was too short. when u modify your exhaust u can rig it like i did or spend the money to get new hangers weldedor something like that

NO MATTER WHAT PART IS DIFFERENT THEY ARE NOT 100% INTERCHANGABLE!!!!!!
Sorry for all caps but there are alot of dense people here.

I wish I didn't throw my friends Hatch axleback away, because there is an almost 1 foot difference in length between the 2 axlebacks
