dc2r?

ek4 piping is smaller in diameter.
you will find the box hangs too low on the DC2 as the box on the civic is shorter but wider.

just find the right exhaust for the right car - save chopping and welding.

like what type one says, u will need to chop and fit.
DC2 being a 1.8L engine should have a larger diameter piping or more free flow
why get EK4?

ive only got dc2 vtir btw....sorry i think i should be more clear but its an aftermarket(kakimoto) 2.25 catback exhaust of an ek4...in the forsale section....was just wondering how much and would it be worth getting it fitted...

why go to the hassle? just wait for a dc2 one to come up

i just tried to fit an eg axle back on my car to clear a defect for my integra...but it was way to short so i had to chop it in half and then weld some more piping on to it just to get it to fit which even then required taking off the swaybar.....so i really wouldnt bother....

most likely will be cheaper in the long run, as well as better to buy an exhaust specificaly for the dc2.

im sure the muffler will fit
you will just have to get a new b pipe and resonators to the cat...

and 2.25 is fine for vtir...

i agree with kousoku, if you wait for a dc2 catback to come around, you will gain more from that as it is tuned for the b18c engine rather than a b16. You will have a lot less hassles, and save your pennies from not needing to get a zorst hacked and welded together at a shop
