Rep Power: 239 My new exhaust setup
Its going on D17A1:
KAmikaze headers
RandomTech downpipe/cat
Apexi WorldSport II catback
I've been looking for these parts for about a year and I finally got the last piece of the puzzle (random tech cat), we're gonna be installing it soon and I think there will be some real good gains! I'll probably get a dyno after I finish. Let me know what you think
sorry for shitty pics

Rep Power: 243 i was going to say your mother is going to kill you when she see the headers on her white blinds!! Looks good man...let us know if theres a check engine light because of the O2 sensor. Are you going to extend the wires for the O2 to reach back to the Cat? or just get an O2 simulator?

I know someone that does that but it costs big money! I'll probably go for it tho.

Rep Power: 269 Retracted previous statement.. not as tired now.
You are trying to mate an LX header (Kamikaze) with an EX downpipe and catback exhaust. It will not be a plug and play journey for sure. The LX header reaches lower and therefore the rest will not align properly. For it to work, it could be done by hacking/reforming your downpipe.. I'd lean and say get a proper EX header rather than going that route (don't forget about a swaybar as well - as I'm sure you'll run into that fitment issue as well).

Rep Power: 239 yeah thanks, I picked up DC headers (for ex) couple of days ago, figured it would be smarter to use ex headers and not have to cut and modify the downpipe. So I got Kamikaze headers for sale, let me know if anyone is interested.
btw, is this going to interfere with a sway bar? I got a progress sway bar which I'm planing to install sometime soon.

Rep Power: 269 Maybe with your car year you have the correct front sway bar ( as I believe one person that I know converted was fine), but the majority that I know that switched needed to convert their front bar. Cheap thing to find (scrapyard), more of a pain to install than anything.
