Get the exhaust shop near you to cut and re-weld. Cheap!

 

i was thinking about this, i think i may just buy a bolt up cat and try to find a worldsport axle back for a dx hatch and just get new piping welded up for it, cuz i got 2 inch now, i wanna go 2.25

 

get an OEM/EX cat and a 98 EX catback ehxuast and the fitment should be fine, along iwth staying emissions friendly

I think you meant "by."

 

and the muffler wont stick out farther than the bumper?

 

I would say just get whatever civic exhaust you want and any shop will be able to shorten the B pipe if necessary. It's only a matter of cutting off some pipe and welding a flange back on.

 

this is true...i didnt think of it that way...ill buy the exhaust for a dx, and a bolt on cat for a ex...then ill install it at work and cut and reweld the midpipe...thanks bro!!

 

You may want to get an exhaust for an EX though... I can't say for sure on all aftermarket exhausts, but I'd be inclined to think that the inner diameter of the piping specifically for a DX would be smaller.
