Default 1997 Civic HX exhaust...

I wanted to find out if my Apexi WS2 exhaust out of my 1994 Civic EX Coupe is going to fit my 1997 Civic HX Coupe?

it will work.but you will need to make and "test pipe." local muffler shop should be able to do it for $20 or under.

only exhaust that would work without problems with be a dx exhaust since it has the same exhaust manifold with the cat in that location.

or another thing you could do.

Is switch to a d16y8 exhaust manfiold, a y8 cat. extend your Secondary O2 wires and run it that way. On a slightly more performance asspect i guess. My buddy and I did that to his Hx with a JRSC on it. Works fine.

id recommend you do that. running without a cat is bad for the enviornment and sounds ricey. get a d16y8 (civic ex) exhaust manifold and cat, put on the exhaust and put it all on your car and youll be good.

too be honest. i know u want some more power and a nice sound. but save ur money man it aint worth it. i had a 97 civic hx with i/h/e. it will yeah help out a lil bit, but the hx is a the fuel economy civic.( even tho they all are) this ones packin 115hp. it aint worth the money. ur gona spend a lot of money and time on this and the outcome isnt great at all. youll jus get people trying to race u when you cant back it up. id recomend getting a gsr motor like i did to my hx after i realized the sohc motor jus aint gona work out.

well to be honest, if he wants something "fast" then he should just throw out the civic all together. sure a b18c1 in a civic is quick, but its not what most would consider "fast". hes just working with what hes got. theres nothing wrong with an sohc engine, power output is awesome with a turbo and its cheap and reliable with a good tune. so he can swap if he chooses to, but if he wants to be "fast", civics arent the cars to be looking at.
