it says its a cat-back system but it doesnt come with the pipe that attaches to the cat converter. there is a pipe thats like a foot long. this is the piece i needed the most. it is rusted through. and that pipe is 1.5 diameter. whats the point of putting 2.25 piping up to a 1.5 inch pipe.

does anyone know where to get that pipe aftermarket or do i have to have some one custom make one. [:@]

 

Are you talking about the downpipe, by chance? That your 'missing'?

 

Pics? New or used? Are you sure you bought it for the right car? What car do you have anyway?

I think you might of order the wrong parts and more likely it's for a different car..Have you done a different engine swap????

 

its a stock 98 dx civic sohc base model. its the right exhaust according to the directions and all the sites ive searched. in the instructions it shows it hooking up to the flange right before the cat, not to the cat. there is a 1 foot pipe that goes from the cat to the first flange(with spring bolts). i can get pics tommorow.

i bought the system new from performancecenter

 

apexi's website says the same system.

in the instructions it shows a pic of how its hooked up and it shows the front pipe hooks to the stock front exhaust pipe, with the stock spring bolts(flange). that stock pipe is 1.5 id. it doesnt make sense. i cant find my camera right now but ill get pics tommorow

 

 

can we resize the photos please. those are ****ing huge. crop out the pic, so the white part gets left out

 

if you ordered a d16y7 catback exhaust instead of your d16y8, that would make the pipe like 18" longer (whatever the length of a cat is), in which case if would bolt directly to the exhuast mani and the cat wouldn't fit in there. Did you get the correct exhaust for sure?

 

sorry about the big pic. the instructions say D16Z6 engine type. product code is 116-kh05 which is the same on all sites even apexi's site. the length and bends look correct, but ill have to measure it to be sure

the cat runs vertical almost in the engine bay.
