It will bolt right up to your car with the only exception of a few things:

-your O2 sensor wires will be too short and would need to be lengthened
-the mid-pipe mounting tab will have no where to bolt onto unless you swap over to the EX manifold as well, which has a different mounting structure than the CX,DX,LX models
-If you have super strict emmisions regulations they may notice that you have moved the location of the catalytic convertor, but that would be extreme nitpicking and would take only a trained eye to even notice a thing out of the ordinary. so thats not really an issue.

no the EX exhaust will be like 18" too short (to make room for the EX's cat, which the DX doesnt have). If you are keeping your OEM DX exhaust manfiold, pick up a test pipe to bolt in there between the DX's manifold and the EX catback and then the length should be good. If you are getting a header (which eliminates the DX's cat), get a Magnaflow or Randomstech cat to bolt in there instead of the test pipe, then an o2 extension and you should be good.
