I have an exhaust midpipe of a 97 civic ex sedan, and I want to know if it will fit on a 96-00 Civic HB DX. Will it fit?

 

Unfortunately no, the HB's are different.
Ek coupes and Sedans 96-00 are the exact same though.

 

i thought the b-pipe was the same and the muffler was just shorter.. napa shows the same part number for DX hatch and DX sedan.

That may be true, to be honest ive never heard of someone using the same B-pipe from an EK hatch. I just know from experience because i have an EK coupe B-pipe in my EK sedan.

 

yeah. i am always looking for parts that will interchange. i found out looking through the honda repair manual that the wheelbase is the same and i only assume the frames are identical between the wheels (underneath that is).

 

Checking the Honda EPC, the '97 DX hatch and the '97 DX sedan both use the same B pipe part number. The EX sedan is of course a different part number though.

97 EX SEDAN
PIPE B, EX.
18220-S01-C81

97 DX HATCH
PIPE B, EX.
18220-S01-C21

97 DX SEDAN
PIPE B, EX.
18220-S01-C21

 

what if its a ek hb with a z6?

This is because the EX has the Cat in the standard position at the bottom of the header, connecting to the B-pipe, rather than all the D16y7's having them on the header itself. That can cause allot of confusion for some ppl new to the game.

I understand that. In fact, I have a car with a D16Y8 and a car that used to have a D16Y7 here.

I'm not sure off hand if I could put a Y8 B pipe on a Y7 car, regardless of body. I don't know if a B pipe from a '97 EX sedan could fit on a '97 DX sedan.

You can put the D16y8's B-pipe onto a car with the D16y7, but you need the EX cat as well, because the B-pipe is shorter by about a foot, for that reason.

Okay, so then the OP's question is answered.

The EX sedan B pipe should fit onto the hatch, but the hatch is gogint o need an ESX cat too.

 

back in the day i bought a greddy evo exhaust for mmy ej8 of a kid off a kids 4door eg it all bolted up right no modifications

 

but the mid pipes are all the same minus on a dx hatch will have to do some mods because of the cat
