Hello i'm new to the honda tech web, but i was asking if the greddy evo will fit my 97 accord LX, why asking is because the it says it will fit the EX but nothing about the lx but if you could help tell me why this is. thank you

 

Well it will fit if it fits the ex, I am not sure about the header configuration but cat back it should all be the same. I love greddy exhaust (other than my magnaflow ). Good luck and welcome to H-T

wont fit....but for $25ish at a muffler shop ull be able to get it to fit.....the flange off teh cat is different on the EX/LX DX...........BTW, if u wait till march/april, the greddy evo 2 will be availalbe for 5th gen accord.......$498 from modacar.com according to the email they sent me after i asked them......its the same as the origional EVO, but its full stainless steal, which means no rusting at all

 

so you are saying that it will fit on lx, if you just put a different flange on?no problem?

yup......and since u live tin texas, theres no need to wait for the SS version......that exhaust is pretty loud, but sounds really nice &lt;- deep *** idle note........gl w/ everything

 

Actually, you are somewhat right about the bolt pattern being different. Most 5th gen. Accords have the 3-bolt flange on the exit side of the cat. However, at some Honda plants in the U.S. they used a 2-bolt style flange.(got the info. from a local dealer and a Greddy rep.) I had a '96 Accord LX Cpe. and it had the 3-bolt flange. My suggestion would be to get under the car and see if yours has a 2 or 3-bolt flange. If it has the 3-bolt, then you're good to go; if it has the 2-bolt, then go to a muffler shop to fix it.

 

Thanks guy for all the help, i gonna order the evo tommorow and check the flange thanks again, and hopefully be hearing from me soon after i get it on thanks

 

you'll also have an extra hanger on your exhaust system in the middle with nowhere to hang it on the car. sort of like an appendix; there but useless.
