Catback conversion for FD1

[Hacs]

I'm sorry if this seems a stupid question guys, but has anyone installed a catback exhaust conversion to their FD1? I'm wanting to buy a kit from the US. However, most of their catback products are for the USDM Si models. I'm not too sure if these will fit the FD's that we've got over here.

If anyone has any information on what type of catback exhaust I need (that will fit) and whereabouts I could source these parts in Australia, plz PM as that would be much appreciated.

Cheers :thumbsup:

usdm si catback will not fit an fd1

best is to probably just get an exhaust shop to machine you up a custom header and catback exhaust.

otherwise i know there are a few aftermarket exhausts floating around over seas in SE asia like singapore/hk etc


edit: such as this one from fujitsubo (legalis r)

the USDM civic models ex/lx/dx use the 1.8L found in the AUDM civic (R18a)
these are very similar in design of the FD1 exhaust .. but unable to confirm if they will actually fit

[iversonruls]

not sure if its the same, but if u use a jdm exhaust for k20 / fd2.
the b pipe will be a bit shorter and wont fit in ur fd1. u can get 2 jdm flanges then get an exhaust shop to extend the pipe to connect the exhaust with ur header.

Custom it.
Its similar in pricing and they'll bend it so that it fits.

Got mine done custom and its great.

[rk 86 wa]

did you do a full custom catback header and exhaust?

or did you buy an fd2 exhaust and customise it to fit?

pics please :D

He went to Liverpool Exhausts and they made one for him. So custom as can be :D

very cool :)

do you know rough pricing and if its with a header aswell? or do stock header

[dannybubu]

would customised catback be as good as fujitsubo? gain wise and reliability? no right?

great info there! Waiting to see if my secrets guy can get us a price :)

[howy]

Couldn't find the one for the FD1 though.

I've found that a lot of these sites don't really update their info, kinda annoying.

[FallenAngel]

very cool :)

Atm i have the stock header, as there is no current info on headers for the AUDM models. I asked them to see if they would make a custom header, and they could it'll take them a long while as they need to design everything from scratch.

I'll probably be back there later regarding that matter.

[howy]

Yeh, it does look pretty good.

How big is it? 5"?

[denot]

How much you spent there FallenAngel? also, what about J's Racing from one of our traders? a bit pricey i think...

i already asked about the j's racing catback...if u have fd1 u'll need to modify it to fit im not sure about fd2...but it fits fd2r...

[denot]

yeah, might go to hi-tech or liverpool if they gave a lot cheaper price...

[FallenAngel]

4" tip although i wanted the titanium look but they didn't have it in stock... =[

Did it at liverpool exhausts, took about 3hrs but good service!

Pm if u want price

[Hacs]

Fallen that actually looks pretty gd. keep us updated on when u get the custom headers.

[rk 86 wa]

after deciding for a while, me thinks a custom catback like this one is prob the best way to go with the way the aussie $ is atm blugh *sigh*
