few exhaust queries

[paul2508]

planning on fitting exhaust to my car the weekend. came off a gx but its a cat back apexi exhaust and was told it fits any de3a model , paperwork with it confirms it too. first thing i wanna know is what cat will i use the one off the gx that was attached to the exhast system or a mivec one to suit my car? and secondly are all the rods where the hangers fit underneath the car in the same place on all de3a models? cheers peeps .

It's all a straight swap.I think.

Am i better off just leavin my cat on and removing the middle and back section just and just putting my system straight onto my cat? Dont see why not really. Are the cats different sizes on mivec and non mivec models.

If this is the original you are taking off good luck

Have lots of oil, new bolts and a saw

[paul2508]

you kidding me? I hav bolts For my system. Have to agree with ya tho . I had awful trouble taking apexi exhaust so could only imagine yat the stock would be like . Jus hope all goes well cheers for the heads up Laura

[colm_mcm]

Gx and gpx both use the larger diameter exhaust so as far as I remember they're the same. I'd be inclined to use your own cat as you don't know what condition the new one is in.

No probs, as long as you know it'll take a couple of hours, have plenty of tea and jaffa cakes at the ready

I did warn you!!! Now go and get your saw out!

Never thought of a mini hacksaw. But wouldn I be cutting the bolts off the cat? As I'm taking the middle and back section off and leaving on my own cat

What exhaust is that? i only know exhausts made for mivec FTOS,and you need to change the catalyzer because it wont fit on a GR,GS or GX...

[paul2508]

its an apexi n1 exhaust system made for a de3a model. i was gonna leave my own cat on. whats the difference between a mivec and non mivec catalyzer..isn't the diameter at the endof the cat the same excapt for the gs model??
