Im looking for some exhaust recommendations for my 95 Civic CX hatchback. Specifically, Im looking for confirmation on which exhausts are known to clear an ASR subframe brace w/ ITR 22mm sway or ASR 24mm sway.

Thanks!

 

anything should clear. the asr brace is not an issue and as long as the exhaust was designed for a car with a rear bar, you should be fine.

 

X2 there arent any issues with those items you mentioned.

 

EG Civic's never came with rear swaybars. I have heard of several people having clearance issues with various exhausts when using ITR or larger sized swaybars.

 

I'm using the JDM ITR rear 23mm with Apexi world sport 2 exhaust. 100% CLEAR!!!

 

Thanks, thats one of the exhausts that I was considering, I just wish it was 2.5".

 

ITR rear bar + Fujitsubo RM01A exhaust = tons of clearance.

 

Advanced Street Performance 3 inch exiting rear, and ASR 32mm... plenty room.

 

if it were an EF i'd say you'll have problems. But, as everyone has said, the EG has plenty of space back there.

 

Why don't you customize your own muffler so you'll be sure it will clear the brace ?
I did that on my Ek since I'm 3" front to back.

 

because the brace IS NOT in the way. the only thing you would have to worry about is the sway bar. but if jw can fit a 3" back there, then whats the problem?

 

These are the exhausts that WILL NOT, WILL NOT fit an 96 Civic hatchback with an ASR 32mm:
Mugen Twin Loop
Stock (lol, it will if you bash it)
Apexi WSII

Due to the constraints of the bumper to subframe being so short, and the large size of the adjustable endlinks, I've been having tons of problems with the actual back box fitting.

Any suggestions? Anyone know of a 2.5" quiet streetable exhaust that would work with the 32mm?

 

Redshift Motorsports stainless steel exhaust.
No clearance issues on my EG with an ITR swaybar. Plenty of room.

 

Redshift has haulted their production line of LCA exhausts. You could do what i did and had a custom exhaust made the same way as the Redshift. It was cheaper as well.

 

I have a question.

If you're not running race tires on a race track in that car then what is the point or value of the ASR brace other then lightening your wallet and adding weight to your car?

Is there something I don't know about the structural integrity of the rear subframe on EG civic hatch's?

Just curious.

 

Ahhh good point but if you are posting here... We assume your tracking it.
Hence why we use one. The subframe has been known to rip out when tracking an EG
If your not tracking it then yea you dont need one in a dd.

 

DAMMIT! Ive never heard of Redshift, checked out there website and would love to pick up one of their modualr exhausts......but they have "temporarily discontinued production".

Also, I should have rephrased my question, I am not concerned about the exhaust clearing the brace as I agree it it nowhere near it, but I am concerned about it clearing the swaybar.

The exhaust's I have been considering are:

Thermal R&D 2.5"
Hytech Twin Loop
Fujitsubo RM01A
Apexi WS2
ASP Aluminum

But now Im very interested in the Redshift, I dont want to wait until spring though.

 

Do note: I love my Fujitsubo, but it is 2.38" ID. If you have a motor making significant power, that can choke it off. Mine is not, so no big deal, and I can enjoy the lightness

 

Dude. You gotta ditch that muffler. Turn it down at the gas tank.

 

Is that for me? Whole system is 2.38", muffler won't make any difference, other than making it even more unbearably loud

 

Yep, that's for you monkey.when u gotta use ear plugs to drive it, its loud enough but seriously, if u built just. 2.5" exhaust with nothing in it you may gain a little hp. Worked good for my old junkbox.don't know if it will help the non-vtec engines as much tho.

 

I was actually going to do that a few years ago, and Dave (Stadulis) said for my power levels it probably wouldn't matter going bigger, and the exhaust I have currently is lighter than what he'd be able to make me.

I do wear earplugs currently

With the turbo, that might be a different story...

I saw all those redundant "post your exhaust" threads and read them all.
I searched high and low and found Redshift. Since my car is tracked i wanted to take advantage of something that was going to be quiet and not lose horsepower.
Something that would allow me some baffling if the noise police tagged me at the track.

I only know of a few peoples who do have them.
They tend to be on the pricey side but to look at it..
Its a piece of art IMO.
Except for when i trailered my car one time after lowering it and not checking the ride height.
Dent in the rear resonator.

 

ah, yes. the turdblo.
