if I had to guess, length would be a problem... but i'm not sure. I think both are the same from the axle back though |

If you're like me, you weld on a nice exhaust haha. I modded my Greddy MX a few times, it was a CRX exhaust going on a hatchso I lengthened it, and then it was transferred to my CRX and shortened. Just have it welded on, or make your own extension if you have a sawzall and grab some piping from the local parts store. After all, the exhaust is under the car and you're not entering it in a concours any time soon anyway.  |

if you don't want to modify the exhaust, you should be able to put it up to all the hangers, and then make a testpipe where the 3" gap is. Just remember to accomodate for the length of the flanges when making it ... in reality it'll probably be jjust over 2.5in in actual pipe length |

yeah no problem man, having done this very thing (bought CRX exhaust, put it on hatch, then put it on CRX, then swapped CRX..) I'm just trying to help the OP avoid any under-the-car headaches. |
