You mean you want to change the exhaust system from the LX to the Si(American EX)?

I don't see a problem with it. The only difference in the LX and EX is that the EX's cat is located further back inthe exhaust system.

I kinda had the same question except I have an LX, but I want the gReddy Evo cat which is only made for the EX, and Im curious what other parts I would need to get to make it fit properly without doing any mods to the catback...................

CapYoda has a spectacular aura aboutCapYoda has a spectacular aura about
you'll need an EX header (stock or aftermarket), EX downpipe/cat convertor (stock or aftermarket) then you can use the EX cat-back exhaust.

if you want the DC header and EX downpipe/cat you'll need an EX cat back. or just take it to a shop and have them fit the dc header, ex downpipe/cat to the LX exhaust.

actually thats not all youll need. you will also need to change your stock LX sway bar to the EX/Si one. the LX sway bar is made to go over the LX pipe, not the EX/Si one.

people on here have done it tho, so its not a problem.
