my boy has been bugin me about, this hes gettin a gsr swap next week, and he wants to know . will his stock d16 exhaust bolt up his gsr motor??

 

Kinda. It's either a few inches short or a few inches long....I believe short.

 

I am pretty sure it will be too short, by about 6 - 7". I had my stock GS-R B-pipe extended by a muffler/welding shop for like $25 for my GS-R swapped '92 Si and my '93 del Sol Si (D16 VTEC in both originally). I measured the difference, took the B pipe to him, and he made the adapter and welded it on the my stock pipe (using the existing flange). It took him about 4 hrs (or at least that is when I picked it back up). If you do that, you won't have to drive to the place and get a ticket b/c you exhaust isn't connected (loud as hell).

If it the swap is going in a more economic body than the EX/Si (ex., LX, DX, HX, etc.), you might want to at least get an stock EX/Si exhaust from a junkyard, as the lesser models' exhaust are tiny. Even the EX/Si is small, but much better than the DX... Or splurge and get a new cat back... Just get it for the car, not the motor.
