Default Modding a coupe exhaust for a hatch?

How would you modify an exhaust from a 99 EX coupe, and get it to fit a 93 CX hatch?

Assuming it is already cut into pieces and will need to be welded back together anyway.

i tried a coupe N1 exhaust on my hatch, it's longer and the hangers are different. but anyways i guess if you have the right tools you could do it.

I know it's longer, I'm wondering if anyone knows which PARTS are longer, and by how much, and maybe where the hangers don't line up.

The mid pipe looses about 4 inches and the axle back looses another 2 or 3. (at least it did on mine)

side note: The aftermarket stuff is very thin and the tubing expander will split the pipe very easily. Have the shop practice a bit before they try to "sleeve" a coupling in there.

Cool, thanks for the help. It's already cut in 2 places -- once by rust and once by sawzall -- so I think it will work out

you'd be better off having a muffler shop weld the can onto some custom piping, since the hatches stock exhaust goes sideways, its going to fit weird.
