Default EK Hatch Exhaust??

Hey guess, Im also looking for a nice exhaust to put on the hatch. I really like the A'pexi WS system, will the catback system bolt right up even with the d16y8 swap? or is the piping going to be in a different spot that wont line up with the A'Pexi system? I need to know ASAP! X-Mas is coming...haha!

Should I go with the cat-back if it will bolt up? Or should I just buy the WS muffler and have a shop custom make it for me?

It will fit, in the end all the d-series headers are the same, so the lenght of the downpipe should be the same. Even with the swap.

A nice engineered system, full catback will work a little better than a custom exhaust pipe and will sound better. If you have the cash go with the catback

ok so i guess now the ?? is should I buy the entire cat-back or just the muffler and have a shop make custom piping? Also is it worth it to get a high-flow cat? And sorry one more, havent researched it yet, but the ws comes in left and right offsets and center for the tip, ne idea if it should be centered or offset im guessing to the left?

I had the WS2 on my swapped hatch, and that shit sounded awesome. I got so many compliments on it. Buy the catback.. i got mine at racing zone and it was only $400. I plan on picking up a WS2 for my DC also.

BlackWagon thanks alot for the info and thread! is there a big difference between the WS and WS2? I am going to try and find the cat-back system on ebay and if no luck there i might order it from that honda-tech guy. What are some reputable shops in the bay area that I might be able to go through?

Volcom, what offset tip did you have on the hatch? Left, Right, or Centered?

Thanks Guys!

Ok guys, what do you think of this set-up?? I found a header/cat exhaust on ebay, and then match it up with the A'Pexi WSII catback. Heres the link for the header..

you dont need a cat, just get a test pipe.
