Does anyone know if the is supposed to be those spring in between the axle back and the mid section of an 1992 civic stock exhaust. i recently put a stock one on and the catalic converter is about an inch short from the header. can anyone help me?

 

if you're talking bout the springs that connect the header to your cat, then yes, they're needed, they're there because when metal heats and cools it will fluctuate in size.

There should be a slight gap between the bolt holes, but the header/cat part should sit flush.

 

the header and cat do not sit clush and i do have the springs there. let me upload the pics.

 

This is the cat and header.

This is the cat and mid section.

This is the mid section and axle back.


Does the mid section and axle back have the springs also? the guy i got it from had it on an 1992 SI HB and i have a DX. Is there supposed to be a slight difference or am i missing something?

 

anyone?

 

Your missing a donut looking gasket. go get that and guaranteed it will fit.

 

thanks! i am guessing it is #28 on here.

i think you installed the springs wrong from the cat to header.

yeah they go on the outside buddy

 

i think there are supposed to be springs on the axle back part you pictured.

also, my cat and header were about that far away as well.

i just tighted the bolt and nut as hard as i could and it drew them together

 

thanks guys. in the pic, that is the tighest it goes. i will try to get some new gaskets then.

 

The springs don't go in between the flanges. The springs should be between the outside face of the flange and the bolt head.

 

thanks guys, i will fix it today.
