f22b dohc into my 95 civic

[zap45]

im getting ready to swap a f22b dohc(h23) engine in my 95 civic dx.
My question is what type of exhaust i can use do i have to go custom or can will the stock exhaust bolt up?

thanks

I very much doubt that the stock exhaust will bolt up to an H23. You wouldn't want to use it on an H23 anyway. I'd upgrade to the 2.25"-"2.5" range.

Are you doing the swap yourself? If not (or even if you are), then I'd probably just take it to a reputable exhaust shop and have them fab something up for you...

well me and two other people are doing it. and i like to go with a 2.5
i also bought the header and downpipe. Do i go custom after that?

 

[BrutalB83]

That is correct. Well, you'll need to either get an appropriate sized cat converter or just delete the cat and have your exhaust flanged to bolt up right to the header down-pipe...

ok on this swap the o2 sensor insert is located on the down pipe do i have relocate my o2 sensor

 

[BrutalB83]

Where is the O2 sensor located on the stock motor? Moving it is not really a big deal, you'll just need a short piece of extension wire...

well i motor is an f22b(h23) i did not see it on the stock exhaust manifold
the only place i saw it was on the aftermarket downpipe that i purchase
