Hey,
Just wanted to know if an SiR exhaust will bolt on to an 97 sedan, if not how much modification is needed ?

thanks!

Hehe... funny you should ask. I wanted to know the same thing, and apparently the part numbers are the same for aftermarket exhausts. For example:

Item#: 5Z-FBEH304-15 $488.00

5 ZIGEN Fireball Exhaust System For Honda Civic 96-00 (DX/LX/HX) 2 & 4DR Model

So, I guess that's a yes... but I don't know for sure.

LOL check in the classifieds, there is a 5zigen there for sale for $650 which is a fair deal if it's mint. I'd pick it up for $600 if I was looking for an exhaust at this point.

you think i can Pass E-test with something like that provided i keep the stock cat on ?

No prob at all....5Zigen carries a CARB certification, so anyone who would fail that would be a fool. However, you do need a car that's in good shape, but what I'm saying is that you won't fail just because of it. I know my Civic puts out air that smells far better than some ppl's breath

lol ...... cool, I was kinda hesitant about getting an after market cat back because of emission issues.
Now I will consider going that route, I have a farily new car so it shouldn't effect anything.
heres a question, is it even worth getting an SiR exhaust?
is there much of a difference bettwen that and the stock one on our cars?

Yours was designed for 127 hp, the SiR was designed for 160 stock. It's an improvement, and prob more exhaust than our SOHC engines will ever need w/o boost. Why not the 5Zigen? It's all good with the 5Zigen.

$$$$$$$ !!!!! thats why not.
I am, however considering it now that i know there won't be too many problems with e-test.
yes $600 isn't bad, but i have to take installation in consideration

aftermarket exausts dont effect emissions..
as long as your cat is still good.. everythings good hehe

Exactly, I just got my car e-tested last week and it passed with flying colours. I have a K&N drop-in filter, DC Sports header, and Apex-i WS catback exhaust and the readings were so low they hardly registered at all. What a waste of time and money.
