Has anyone done this? Which pipe needs to be modified? Tried searching but came up with nothing. Thanks in advance.

I would bolt it starting from the back and see what you need to change...

 

you'll need to shorten the b-pipe.

cut, weld

 

I have done this on my car.
I shortened the Mid Pipe on my car right after the resonator. I think I ended up cutting close to 6.5" out and then welding back together.

I found the easy way to do it is to do as follows.
* remove old exhaust from cat on back.
* Hang HKS muffler.
* install mid pipe to the muffler/tail section loosely.
* Have a friend measure how far you need to remove by measuring how much longer the flange that bolts to the cat is than it is supposed to be.
* Then remove the mid pipe, and cut out that amount from anywhere in the straight section that the resonator is on.
*Reinstall Mid Pipe, and enjoy a great exhaust.

Jon,

Thanks for your help and advice- I had it done at a local muffler shop and it is nice to have an HKS again! Nice and quiet but definite HP bump, just like the one I had back in 91! I like how they have a darker (almost Greddy SP) coating, compared to the almost silver like I had before.

The tips didn't come out as straight as yours, but I'm still happy!

Your tips should line up just right, just move the hangers on the bottom over a little until it's centered. That is the same spot I cut and welded mine at as well.

 

Damnit, I need to dig mine out the basement and put it back on.

 

Best exhaust for ef's !

 

Im debating on shortenting the HKS exhaust I have or just selling it. I will say it did look nice on the hatch and from the pics above DOES look good on the CRX but I am going to be going turbo and not sure if it will be big enough?
