What exhaust to use with H22 swap in 5th Gen?
I'm possibly ddoing a H22 swap into my gf's 96 but we did alot of work in regards to her exhaust for the F22, so I'm wondering, if I drop in the H22, will the H22 header bolt on to the cat converter of the F22?
FYI- the H22 comes with a DC-sport 2pc and we have a bolt on Random Tech Cat in place of the stock F22 and Magnaflow cat-back.
I tried to search but my results came back negative.

I believe you'd need to have the header re-welded so that it can bolt up to the cat. Now would be a good time to change to a larger collector.

K, basically if I take the flange off the aftermarket header from the F22 and weld it in place of the DC Sport header from the H22 I can just bolt everything up? I have a random Tech cat and a Magnaflow 2.25 cat-back already on the car.

Yes, we know that. That is not what we were concerned about.

length of the h22 header is different. your best bet would probably get a cat designed for the H header, bolt that up, and then re weld (if neccesary) to an Accord mid pipe. it may be more costly, but you could change out exhausts to something from a CD6 accord. alot of manufacturers made/make exhausts for that car in Japan, but not for the f22 in the US (example, apexi N1)
