Default NEED EXHAUST MIDPIPE HELP!!

Hey guys I have a 93 prelude VTEC. THe vin says so and the motor in the car is the H22a1.

So I was replacing my mid pipe (AKA flex pipe) and decided to order a pipe from rock auto. This is what they sent compared to my old one.





The pipe they sent me is about an inch to long. And the flange that connects to the header is alot wider and larger. I have an after market DC header. Can someone tell me what pipe they sent me??? They told me that they think I have the SI model. But I do not. Is it possible that teh person before me put on H23 headers??? Need help urgent! Thanks!

Well, you're mixing and matching OEM with aftermarket. The DC header's top portion is probably longer than an OEM one... Since they sell it as one whole piece, they really don't need to make their flange match up in the exact spot as the OE piece.

Have you considered a better header?

How much did you spend on the replacement downpipe section?
