Exhaust question
i'm new to this site and kinda new to things about cars, so just bear with me if this doesnt make sense...lol. so i need to get an exhaust, and i want to buy individual mandrel bent peices of pipe in sections and weld them together instead of buying a whole catback, but i need to find a diagram of what the catback should look like shape wise and measurements...i have a 94 civic lx sedan so if anyone knows where i can find a catback layout for it, that would be great :irock:

well thats actually a good question, much better than most newbie ass questions.
If I get time, I will go measure mine.
The thing is, your bend in the back to go over the rear LCA, it isn't a bend that you can just buy, the angle isn't a ton, but I'm sure with the right parts you could cut and weld many sections to get it right. You are looking at about 6 feet of straight, 2 90's, and 1 180 I would say.
Make sure and get a small muffler as there isn't a ton of room between the rear subframe and the rear bumper

EDIT: As long as your piping is Mandrel bent, you will be golden.

what type of tranny do you have in there now ? stock ? if you are going with the b18b, are you going to through some type of vtec head on there (ie: b16a, b18c,) ???? If so, any lsd tranny for a b16, b18, will work just great !!!
