If i buy an exhaust for a 89-91 crx will it fit a 89 honda hf dx SOHC

 

i bought a crx invidia exhaust. and i had some issues. the mid pipe will follow the chassis good. but it is a few inches short from the cat. also the rear where the muffler goes is short too. prop just have to add pipe to make the tip reach the opening on the rear bumper. basically takes a lil work but some people make it happen

 

There a few things to look at before hand:
1. Do you have a manifold with a cat built onto it, then a down pipe (since u have an HF I think you have the cat on the manifold I stead of u der the car)
2. If you do have this set up, you will need to also get a test pipe because the aftermarket exhaust systems are designed for 88-91 civic/cr dx and si which have a cat mounted underneath the car.


This being said the ex system will fall short on your hf so you will either need to:
1. Get the mid pipe extended to reach you stock downpipe
2. Get a test pipe fitted to cover the place where the cat would be; or
3. Upgrade your set up to a catless manifold and buy a new/used cat that will bolt up under the car.


Once you decide the route you want to go you will then be able to run the catback of your choosing.

 

Also which car do you have?
Dx some come with cats under the car
HF come with manifold mounted cats.

We need exact vehicle model type to give better info

 

whoops i totaly misread the title. i thought it was crx exhaust onto a hatchback civic. nevermind then.

 

Question guys, what about a test pipe/greddy cat back off a 1990 crx si on a 1990 DA 3dr? by my measure its bout 2ft 10 short , bout 8 in at tip and 2 foot ish pre test pipe. what im scared of r the mounts. i got a buddy thats a killer tig welder but what do i do, just go get new ones? just use rod stock carbon steel like 1/4 inch or do u go buy em at napa?

 

The exhaust im looking at is a 4-2-1 header catback and all and its going on an 89 ef hatch how short will i need to mod

 

its and 89 honda civic dx hactch its got the SOHC d15

 

the funny thing is that some one had started to put an exhaust on its got 2in pipe from the header to the 'S' of the muffler and from the it goes back to the stock 1in
