Hey... Im lookin for an exhaust. And have been offered rear sections for 92-95 hatchs.. but they say it will take modification to fit a 98 hatch, what kinda mods are we talkin here> sections cut out?> and how hard would it be to mod a coupe rear section to fit a hatch? be better to just cut the muffler off and re weld on a new pipe? can they just bend the pipe at the weld shop to fit a hatch?

 

Unless you're getting that system way cheap it may not be worth it.

Buy a muffler (summit racing has some killer deals), and if you can't weld yourself, take it to a muffler guy and have him bend you a pipe from the cat back.

I did the exhaust on my 99 from the manifold back for under $200 including the muffler from summit. But I did all the welding and bending of the exhaust tubing myself. It's nice having a kick ass set of tools.

 

Unfortunately, crush bending is far from the best way to do things.

 

Yeah good thing I have a full hydro JD3 bender with 7 dies to choose from. :fawk: I can bend anything from 1" tubing up to 2.5" tubing in a circle without so much as a kink.

Only crush going on here is the one I got on my stripper neighbor. :naughty:

 

does your neighbour bend?

 

OH she does, and she does it veeeeeeeeery well!
