Bought a 2.5" stainless steel cutback exhaust that's for a 2/4 door civic years 92-00. I have a 96 civic hatchback. So there's the first problem, wondering what the differences are between the two (read something about how it bends over the rear axle and that it isn't able to interchange between platforms) and if there is any way I can still use the exhaust on my hatch without having to cut into anything. Another question: I've seen something about exhausts that are for American manufactured civic's will not fit the Canadian manufactured civics'. I don't see how this would be a problem because I assume they are all built on mostly the same platform. But if you guys could answer some of this or all of it that'd be absolutely great! THANKS!!!

 

The problem is that the axleback portion is too long. No way to make it work without cutting.

 

ebay special right lol ? cut n weld that's the down side with knock off parts
