Default Hatch exhaust on CRX

What do i need to do if anything to get the exhaust from my old hatch to bolt on to my crx? I would just measure it but my car and exhaust aren't in the same place rite now so if someone knows what mite be involved it could save me some trouble and time. Really appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Heres a pic.

my friend did this exchange. if memory serves, he cut a section of where the resonator is. then it was good to go. cant remember how much he cut but it worked fine. it was a while ago. hope this helps

Yep you have to cut out a section, the hatchback's is longer than the CRX's.

Basically you want to remove a section of the midpipe. By this i mean not on the end because you want to keep the flange and have it welded back on.

Disattach the cat from mid pipe and bolt the cat to the header for mock up purpose.

That resonator after the cat hangs in the exact spot the crx has the hangers!
If you hang the whole exhaust and push it on the side of the cat you can mark where it has to be cut. The mid pipe will sway because of the black rubber hangers. Thats the easiest way.

I put the tape meansure on the mid pipe triangle flange where it attaches to the cat! I marked the midpipe where it SHOULD CONNECT to the cat.....and had the mid pipe cut then rewelded the flange back on the midpipe so i can keep it a "bolt on"

.It not that hard its the same frame shape as the hatch. The axel back part is identical its only the mid section thats too long buy 6" or so. But please measure(make sure the tip is perfect and not too far in or out before measuring)
