i am planning on doing a motor swap dropping in a b18c..and i wanted to purchase a catback and only have to worry about custom fabbing/welding near the cat. but ive noticed that looking for ones to buy they are pretty much for dx's,ex's,and si's. which one do i buy that will work underneath my car?? i know the civic ex is almost identical to the hx besides vtec...would i be able to buy an ex catback and have it fit perfectly under my car? thanks alot!

pretty much any 96-98 coupe catback will work with your car

No. EX and Si ones won't work.

The D16Y5 has a close-coupled cat like the D16Y7. I'd try a DX/LX cat-back first.

 

well what if im going to have custom fabbed work done by the cat..i just want it to get up to where the cat would be..

 

Wait till you get your swap, and when you do the swap install a cat and exhaust for a 96-00 EX coupe. Putting a DX/HX exhaust is a waste of time and money, because it will bolt up now but when you get your swap it'll have to be fabricated to fit the swap.
