Default EG6 CX Piping Size.

Hey guys so i'm looking to get a test pipe for my EG (CX model) and I was wondering what size should is my exhaust piping or what would fit correctly on a stock exhaust setup? I searched and found that the VX and CX are smaller than the DX/Si but didn't find a number. Also, I was wondering if anyone could suggest a test pipe for me I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Also, how much is (I estimate the condition at 8/10) navy blue EG interior worth? minus the front seats

Why get a test pipe? If your cat is bad any muffler shop should be able to replace it with pipe for $20...it's not like you're going to gain any hp from deleting the cat

Isn't the cat embedded within the manifold? It was like that on my 92 VX I used to own.

I actually thought I would but, I guess there's no point since no hp gain lol. My cat works fine though so i'll keep it as is till I can get a full exhaust system then I guess.

Yeah especially on a cx it's a complete waste of money if your stock exhaust is fine

if you get an aftermarket exhaust you will need a test pipe for cx or vx (2 bolt to 3 bolt flange can't remember what length) because of the cat being part of the cx manifold and aftermarket exhaust are made to bolt on to si/dx cat.

There is no help for an 8-valve CX motor. Run it stock or swap it out. Do what I did (94 CX)..... Get all your suspension, brake, tire & wheel stuff sorted first. Then save up for a swap. I've been working on mine for like 12 years now! :D

Yeah, I drove my stock CX motor with a.......well.......down-pipe-back exhaust and no intake resonator for many years. Kids would beat me in their Mom's Hyundais. The most fun I had was racing against my friends bone-stock 92 CX. Now that was funny.

Call it rice......I don't care. I just love working on this car.

Common term for 92-95 Civic would just be EG. Techincally the CX & VX are EH2. It's the chassis code in your vin number.

EG6 is specifically the Japanese SiR model in Japan (with the B16A).

You can probablly make 180whp on your stock d15, the rods are toothpicks. Depends on your tune...
