Going with any of the ebay exhausts will make your car sound bad and ricey.


Turbo Muffler. = Rattle can. hate them shits.


When you also have a resonator on your exhaust it sounds quite good. I have one on my B20 Delsol.

Also when I took off my fart cannon that came on my b16 EK and put on a Turbo Muffler I gained more top end performance. It also sounded much better, That exhaust had a resonator as well.

No USDM 92-95 Civic came with a DOHC ZC. The Only USDM DOHC D is the D16a1 out of the 86-89 Integra. Which is OBD0.

Basically any D16 SOHC header will fit the DOHC, but you have to grind some of the flange off on the inside of the header (the exhaust ports are larger on the DOHC than the SOHC). It's very simple to do, just take you time and make is smooth. There is mods for the DOHC ZC you just gotta find them. You can find any aftermarket part for your engine, but you just don't have alot of choices as to brands. I know the D16A8 is rare (are from europe?), but it uses basically the same parts all the DOHC ZC use, and some of the parts interchange with the USDM D16A1.


That's what i got from one of the members there. (1reply)

no cause in order to bar a motor it has to be
*the motor needs to be the same year or newer then the car ie ur 94 eg needs a 94 or new motor
*have all the emission device off that car
*have the ecu for that motor so no chiped p28 ect
*and if u go from obd1 to obd2 u have to conver the car cant use a jumper harness
* and cant bar JDM motors only USDM, even if use a usdm intake manifold and usdm ecu
* and u can upgrade if the highter models have that motor stock, so the dx n lx sedans have the b7 you can have the d16z6 swapped in and not have to bar it cause the ex sedan has the z6 stock and that goes for all the hatches and coupes

so in america the d16a1 comes outta the 1gen tegs so NO you cant bar but YES u can swap it and becareful u dont get pulled over

hope that helps :thumb:

#224784 Oh ok..thanks jdm for the good info, i guess ill just do the z6 swap and it would be cheaper. So if i swap to z6 can i use my stock mount or i have to use a si mount?...

#224785 i believe all the mounts are the same, im purtty sure someone will chime in and let u know, but as far as i know all of the mounts look the same

#224788 Yeah thats what i thought too...do you guys know the averGe price range for a z6 swap? I talked to a mechanic that does swap and he told me $2,200..is that average or is it to much?

thats to much imo

we had a h22 swap in a prelude for 2100

but the swap is easy if you do it your self
use tape to mark ur sensors, and bags for your bolts
its actually ez about a 4hr-5hr job
