this is a odd exhaust question
allright here goes i have a 97 hx what would be the best way to do a catback for this car if i bought a catback for a ex and did a ex header and cat or test pipe or whatever... but correct me if i am wrong you cant just do a catback on the hx have you guys heard of tsudo exhaust i heard there wernt bad for the money and i have seen one on a accord didnt look or sound bad well if anyone can answer my question would be helpful thanks
well, you can get a header, cat, and catback for an EX, but if it's a 5-speed (which i hope it is), you'll have to be very careful about extending the 5-wire O2 sensor to the correct location. good luck

Re: this is a odd exhaust question (illdstu)
Thats odd, I don't see a question mark, or commas. But from what I understand is that you have an HX. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Not sure what D series that is, but on 96-00 DX (D16y7) motors you can use an EX cat-back exhaust, but you would have to get a straight pipe or EX cat I believe. And as for header you can use an EX header too. I think it'd be best to do the whole exhaust in one shot. Also, on the secondary 02 sensor, you either have to lengthen it or get an EX one.

Re: this is a odd exhaust question (illdstu)
Your cat is on your header, so any cat-back will work. In a way, your car has a "test pipe" where the cat would normally go. However, there is such a bottleneck on the hx exhaust, that a catback probably won't do a lot for you without replacing the exhaust manifold and cat.

Re: (illdstu)
I've done this. EX header, EX cat/test-pipe, and EX cat-back. The secondary o2 will need to be extended as said before.
Edit - Will an EX secondary o2 work on the HX?

Ya, it's awesome. Best bang for your buck as far as acceleration goes. And actually a very easy thing to do.
