Default Will an exhaust from 92-95 civic hatch FIT 97 civic ex?

I've got a question, will a catback exhaust intended for a 92-95 civic hatch fit/work on a 97 civic ex coupe? I'm sure it has been done before, but just want to make sure. Any issues when it comes to fitment.

because i know the chassis' are very similar, i feel confident in saying it would go under the car with out hitting aything...

as for hangers lining up and flanges working out, i can't say because i've not tried it. i can say i don't think you'll make it all the way to the bumper (assuming you have a sedan or coupe because you said EX).

i have a GSR fitment muffler on a 96 coupe and it just makes it to the bumper with the tip on.

I have a 97 coupe ex model. So the exhaust from the hatch will obviously be shorter than coupe correct. I don't really care if the tip wouldn't reach the rear bumper, as long as I could get the exhaust on at least 3 hangers.

pretty sure when you hang it over the rear wheel it might be a tiny bit short ( muffler to bumper) but the real problem will be from the other end of the exhaust matching up to the cat... any half decent muffler shop could weld in an extention piece though...

alright ive got a hatch exhaust on my 92 ex...everything bolted right up to the hangers EXCEPT for the axleback piece (goes over the lca's and swaybar) to get any of the hangers to work on this i had to do alittle custom work. i took two rubber hangers on the muffler and two on the original mounts and put a piece of metal between them. it's gonna rattle around alittle bit but it hides the big ol tip..im not sure if its legal tho in Pa...as long as the hangers are in the same place on your 97 this setup should work
