sorry guy im sure this been brought up many of times, cuz i remember reading it before, but i bought a Ws2 exhaust, tried to put in in and it was short, from the cat, i think its about 2-3 inches short, i just need to know what i need? do i need a different cat? or a test pipe?? im lost.. help me out.. of if someone can get me the diameter for how long i need the test pipe to be i can have a it made.. thnxs again

 

you need a b pipe off a car thqt has the dohc stock. or just measure up the gap, and get a pipe. easiest thing to do though is just go to a muffler shop and have them weld a pipe in there..

 

best thing to do in my opinion is to get an adjustable test pipe

 

is there a different between the jdm cat and usdm? cuz i think the cat i got is from a dohc b series

 

its not the cat, its the b pipe

 

any suggestion on where to get one?

 

i had same problem, use a b16 header.. bolts right up

 

how much for that r6 ?

 

it completely stock 29xx miles, for 5500, i cant just get a test pipe made?

 

go to a exhaust shop and get a pipe welded on shouldnt be more than 60 bucks

 

I just experienced the exact same problem with my B18C (R) swap into my 94 CX. The Si exhaust system was about 3-6" short of connecting to the JDM cat. I went to my local performance muffler shop & the guy cut and lengthened the pipe for $20. The trick is to bring cash because they sometimes like to do quick jobs on the side & pocket the money...

 

by getting the length added, will that effect my future mods, for example will after market exhaust be the same in lenght as the stock ones?

Uh.. yeah!

 

had the same problem the mufflershops usually have scaps laying around flanges and pipe. if you can weld i costs nothing and you can always just unbolt it later if you have to.

 

i got a local exhaust shop to extend my cat for me, now theres another problem, i was driving it back like normal, got to my parking lot, and went outside to look at the exhaust, i notice at the tip of the exhaust there was a tiny puddle of oil in the exhaust tip, what can cause this?

 

burning oil? maybe time for some new piston rings

 

maybe...

 

yeah how many miles is on your motor? did you rebuild it befor you put it in? would have been a good idea you never know how hard others have driven that used motor. are you sure its oil not just water?

 

i actually got a good look at it, its just black water.. but no i didnt rebuilt it before i put it in, i think it is a good idea will start the rebuilt project soon, just waiting on some cash flow
