Need a fitment question answered.

I did a search came up with nothing so now I'm starting a thread.

A guy here on 7thgen is selling an SF kit for an "lx". I have an "ex" but wanted to know what I would have to do in order to make it work with mine. Now I know something about the charge piping and my abs don't work because it will run into it. Also, the downpipe is different, thats not a problem because I can weld it up to fit my own exhaust but my main problem was the charge piping.

Do I have to get my own piping and make my own bends to fit it or is there some other way?

Just don't want to buy the kit and then have headache after headache with this kit.

thx to all

I think everything is the same execpt the downpipe which could easily be fixed to fit by an exhaust shop

Are you sure the piping will work with the ABS? The downpipe is not a problem. Just worried about the charge piping not coming together good.

thx

i dont see why it would be a problem.....by the way if u pick up the kit iv got an ex downpipe from the sf kit...that would bolt up to your exhaust perfectly and i would be willing to trade for the lx downpipe.

yeah, DP should be the only difference. Since the lx has cat in headers, ex has seperate cat. Probably jsut need to extend it a little for an EX. Any exhaust shop, but go to srd or import powerhouse over midas and shi*.

You gotta call me up and go for a ride in my new car. and a lil sumpin sumpin, hehe.
