i drive a 97 civic hatchback. i have no CAT and my pipings broke. im plannin on buyin a whole new exhaust. i am wondering if it will fit since ihave no cat and if it will require any welding to fit or is it juss bolt ons. here are the pics:

 

order a catback exhaust for your car + a test pipe or a cat....and voila...exhaust problem solved....or go to a muffler shop and have them install your catback and weld a custom testpipe

 

is a testpipe legal?

 

and can i install an exhaust with a testpipe at home? or would i have to do welding and stuff

 

If you have a stock motor you do have a cat its built into the header. just go to the muffler shop when you buy your new catback and have them put it on.

no testpipes arent legal...but if you're in canada like me, it doesnt really matter, anyways, im pretty sure that you should be all good with just a catback exhaust from what i cee, just unbolt that flange and stick the new exhaust on the remaining flange

 

will it fit? or will i have a big gap from having no cat?

 

um. well my motor is a jspec d15B, so do i still have a built in cat in my headers? and yea the motor is stockd

 

Make sure u replace the gaskets on both sides of the cat or you're going to have a leak....

I know that too well ;(

 

my cat.. so is it true about having a built in cat in my headers? or right now im running with no cat? i baught a stocked car and it didnt come with a cat unless it was built in the headers

would that fit for my ek? it says for cx/dx with catalytic converter under the car, but i dont think i have one? would it still fit?

a) I honestly dont believe you have the ability to swap in a motor if you cant even figure out where your cat is...

b) 4 cyl engines only have 1 header.

 

my homeboy swappd it for me cuz he blew it, so where is the cat? its supposd to be connected between the pipings and the headers but is it built in the header for a d15b?

 

can't really tell, but infron of where your pipe broke should be the cat
