eg exhaust install help
so i have a 95 eg hatch cx chassis. that we bought used, the motor is swapped out to a dx (D15B7) the year i dont know. anyway, the car had an si muffler put on it, so i bought an apexi world sport 2 exhaust, i was removed the exhaust, and was putting on the piping for the ws2 but when i was gonna connect the piping in the front end, the pipe was about 12'' short. i looked at the piping i took off, and i noticed there was no cat? or ..at least there wasn't that im used to seeing? the piping was all straight, and went into the first muffler, and then all the way back to the second muffler. i ws expecting to see the boxy look cat, but it was just straight piping up to the headers? is there a different cat for this model civic? anyway, im not sure what im supposed to do in this situation. am i supposed to buy a cat? and will that connect the piping? or what kinda cat? some help please thanks, took 2 hours working off the rusted piping and bolts and now the cars sitting there with no exhaust piping. thanks. can anyone help me out in person? or anything else.

use your stock cat, and if the piping is long then you might have to measure cut and reweld it, some exhaust systems for the egs are like that, you have to do some mods to it...

Re: eg exhaust install help
there was no cat on the stock piping, my friend told me that some model civics dont use a cat bcuz the motors arent that strong (the car is a cx model chassis) so can i just buy a cat and bolt it on to the piping to fill the gap from the exhaust piping up to the headers? and if i do, do i buy a cat for the chassis (CX) or for the motor (DX) ..or are they both the same cat.

the cx model motor has the cat right in front of the motor right under the first header section, just buy a cat for a civic and you will be good.
