RE: Anyone have this Exhaust? will it fit on HX?
i got one of those ebay cat back systems and i hate it. wish i would have spent the money for a better one. if its not raining tomorrow i will try to get a video of how horrible it sounds. its suppost to be an N1 style cat back system. i would like to find one that sounds like the civic race car they have on the honda commercial. as for fitment, all you can do is trust the seller and if it doesnt fit then you have to take it up with them, but from my understaning all civic 2/3dr exhausts from 92-00 will work and civic 2/4dr from 92-00 will work. i could be wrong but thats the the idea i got
yes the generic exhausts rust quick. mine is suppost to be stainless steel and i put it on 2 months ago and there is already surface rust at the welds. guess thats what you get for a $180 cat back system. live and learn.

I think the HX and the EX have similar exhaust layout. I still run my original exhaust on my 97 Civic. If I were you, I would get a brand that you want and take it to a muffler shop and have it done right. I have a 65 Chevelle, the muffler shop did a great job madrelling and installing the exhaust. I see too many cheap exhaust that just hangs off back end of cars that just bounces around and look dumb. It will cost more but I think its well worth it.

And actually it shouldn't cost more than buying a catback and installing it yourself, it should cost less.

I would just get a muffler, because im going for sound, but i need to put the stock one back on for when i have to go to emissions.

this is the piece of s**t ebay exhaust i was talking about. the second clip didnt do what i hoped because of the wind noise, but you get the point. as for whats bad about it, it sounds like crap.

[align=right]Does Your muffler have anything to do with passing emissions? If not ill just buy a muffler and bring it to a shop and get it welded on.If it does it would be best to buy an axle back and swap it for stock when the time comes for emissions?[/align]

other than the fact that it has to be there, no it has nothing to do with it. all the muffler does is baffle the sound to quiet the exhaust a little. your catalytic converter and o2 sensors have more to do with the emissions.
