So just last week I bought a Magnaflow Direct Fit Cat/Manifold for my 97 Dx. Because it was throwing a code but I installed it and then disliked the new sound of the exhaust... so I purchased a Magnaflow Cat Back Exhaust for the Dx. I received it yesterday via ups and went to put it on and discovered that "Cat Back" doesn't mean Cat Back it comes within about 16 inches or so and uses a piece of stock piping. For me the point to a performance exhaust is to have more flow and not restrictive like the factory piping... so does anybody have a pic of what they made to replace it or is there a replacement online with piping of about an 2.25 inch diameter any suggestions would be great. thank you

thanks but no this one has a curve on it like this. Its part 8 on the bottom left of the pic

 

that piece is what it came with or is that the one you need

 

It'll be fine.

If it really bothers you that much, get a custom bent downpipe made at an exhaust shop.

 

that's what I was gunna do but figured if there was already one online that I would just get it instead of payin $120 or so to some guy around here for a piece of 16" pipe

 

convert to ex exhaust.

faq at the top of the I/H/E page

 

im with brute convert to ex

 

umm lets see i just bought everything for the dx so why would i spend another $1000 just so that I don't have to run down to the local exhaust shop and have them make me a 16" pipe

 

What happened to the original downpipe it had or do you not want the stock down pipe
