no. the DX has a longer B pipe due to the Cat being on the exhaust manifold. The EX cat is underneath the car.

You can buy the EX cat and a test pipe to bridge the gap. Test pipes are on ebay for like $30 or something.

No. Your stock cat is on the manifold as it comes off the engine.

An EX header would cost more than the test pipe to bridge the gap.

You would still have your original cat in the original location. If you use the EX exhaust, you will have about a 1 foot gap between the header and the exhaust since the EX has the cat underneath the car.

You leave your stock cat alone. Put the EX exhaust on. Use a $30 test pipe to bolt on and bridge the gap.

Cheaper than welding. Cheaper than getting an EX header and cat.

But if you want to spring for it, the EX header (or an aftermarket one) plus a simple magnaflow cat on the EX exhaust should give you noticeable gains compared to the stock DX setup. Getting that DX header out of there is probably the most effective bolt-on mod you can do on a Y7.

The only tricky part will be getting some wires to properly relocate your O2 sensors.

No. The 92-95 civic exhaust is the same whether its a DX coupe or EX coupe. It just has to be the same body style.
