Got mine installed yesterday. Install was a bloody pain in the ass. I got a shop to do it and not only was it about a foot short on the EX but most of the brakets had to be cut and rewelded longer. The cat on my EX is in the header and I guess they expect if your putting this catback in your also changing the headers so it leaves room for the cat between this exaust in your headers. Well this left a huge gap so a custom peice of metal had to be put in. Other then that its a pretty good exaust. I notice a proformance increase and it sounds good to.

Ohhhhh yeah, because your EX is our LX. If you had gotten the header and cat from a Canadian Si it would have fit in there perfectly. It's so dumb how they make the models different.

Ya. I ordered the header now and we also had to cut and reweld both rear brackets to fit on to the back with the lip but that was expected. Should be good now.

I got an Apexi cat back installed about 2weeks ago, and the design is strikingly similar, the only difference is the zinc coating on the outside. I was gonna go for megan but the snob in me rang out for old skool japanese. Its really interesting to see how you installed it without the hydraulic lift thingys- i was gonna do it myself but didnt have ne tools, next time definately gonna do it myself, i just wanna learn these things but u cant do that if you take it to the garages, plus dey charge mahoosive.

Neway thats a kool job and a kool description. Maybe one day sum1 can do a step by step thing? That would be safe, unless i'm being a pene ass and there's already one hea.

Right now, I only have a CAI with stock EM/DP/Cat. I haven't picked up a header or anything because I'm boosting soon.....hopefully
