Will RSX-s exhaust fit?

I'm sure this has been answered a million times, but will a RSX-s exhaust (cat back or axle back) fit a ex coupe? Thanks for the info.

you would need a lot of modification. The header sits on the back of the RSX block for one, so you would need a straight pipe up to your cat, and even people that have bought a RSX exhaust after a swap have still had to extend the pipe by a good 3 inches near the axles to make it fit right.

Forget the exhaust, just run straight headers!!! HAHAHA! I don't know... Why go stock when for a cheaper price you can get a good after market exhaust? Now we're thinking!

I guess... but for the money, might as well. Unless you're worried about voiding your Warranty.

if dealer is going to care about changing exhaust system. they will give shiet about changing exhaust to rsx exhaust. not worth it. just get aftermarket catback and dont worry about warranty

I have an aftermarket exhaust and I'm sick of the sound. I want something quiet, just with a little better flow and a decent looking tip. I can get a axleback from a guy on clubrsx.com cheap, that's why I'm wondering.

I did it the axle back with custom work done to it, you need to make the tip longer or the piece that attaches in to the muffler. I will try and get pics for you in the next few days I don't have a digi cam. but it looks and sounds better IMO.

I was thinking about doing that but now that I see it, the muffler looks like it hangs too low. I guess bending the hangers could fix that. It looks okay I guess, but the stock rear bumper just makes it look odd. Maybe it'd look better under the lower... slightly larger 04 coupe bumper that I'm seriously considering.
