Default SI and EX

i was wondering the differences between an SI and an EX/DX/LX, i know the engine is different and interior but as far as suspension and what not what is interchange able? specifically i was wonder about using a si axle back on a non si model. this is for a 2dr coupe. also the suspension is it interchangeable?

Exhaust won't work, two different motors, two different exhaust headers.

Suspension IS interchangable.

actually i beleive the si exhaust will fit. the piping may be differ size but the flanges or whatever they r called will line up and not make it leak air. i work at a honda dealership and i know someone who did it and i asked the tech and he is pretty sure it will

i was gonna flame you. but i rethought and typed this instead.
you are wrong. the exhausts do not line up. they are placed VERY differently from eachother coming off the motor. the axel-back can be used but as for the b-pipe/catalytic converter/downpipe. no way jose"

Axle-back will absolutely fit. I'm sure it will sound a little louder and deeper, but I highly doubt you will see any performance gain.

There is no header on either car stock. Correct, they have two different motors, but they have exhaust manifolds.
