Hey guys, i was wondering if the LX and EX downpipes are the same. I am looking into buying an HP turbo, but it says 01-03 civic vtec.
People are saying it will fit and work, but to make sure the downpipe will fit. what do you guys think? would i have to get a custom weld or something?

No the downpipes are not the same. If it says 01-03 civic vtec...its most likely an EX downpipe. Before I can help you any more, I need to know whether you have an LX or an EX.

i have an 01 LX, would it be hard to modify my LX downpipe to make it work with an EX downpipe system?

you can get one make for ur car local for somewhere around $200-250. I think HP turbo does not come with a fuel syste. So you got to do something with that.

downpipe is gonna cost you betwe 40 and 80 bucks. not bad. lx downpipe is gonna be shorter than EX.

i think it says that because of the catalytic converter location on the lx. should be able to just do an exhaust conversion though.

yeah the cat on the LX sits right up on the header. whereas ex header goes to a downpipe then the cat to exhaust.

so by their saying the kit is for the ex, they realize you can keep your cat (thus stay legal) w/ an ex. sounds simpler than explaining the exhaust thing.
