Exhaust question

[Steven bolling]

How hard would it be to fit a 2012 si coupe oem exhaust on a 2012 ex sedan?

 

[Dar-Dar]

Not hard. All you need to do is remove the existing axleback which is held by 2 bolts and a rubber hanger mount. When you install the Si axleback, you would also need to bend the hangers so the exhaust tip would sit a bit lower or the rear bumper would partially block the exhaust gas. Lol.

 

[Steven bolling]

Really. No cutting and welding?

 

[Dar-Dar]

Crap. I misread your question, sorry. The axleback is a simple bolt on. I'm not sure about the whole exhaust.

 

[Nix]

Just the axle back section. The muffler. The rest is different. You can't swap the whole thing.

 

[Steven bolling]

Haha!! I was a bit surprised! Thanks gentleman.

 

[Steven bolling]

Is the piping the same diameter on both the si and ex?

 

[Nix]

No, the Si is slightly larger. However if you get an SI axleback just buy a gasket for the Si and smash it in between. You may have to space out the springs with a couple washers but you shouldn't get a leak.

 

[Steven bolling]

Thanks nix! I'm selling my si exhaust and want to make sure it would work for the guy that wants it

 

[Nix]

No problem man, just make sure he knows the cat-back section and mid pipe wont fit but the axle-back will fit nicely. Sometimes a little bending of the tangs is necessary.

You'll probably have to bend the hangers a little bit and hit the heat shields with a hammer to get them out of the way

The OEM 2012 Si Exhaust Axle Back Section does not fit the EX/LX R18 without welding and cutting. It is not a bolt on affair like it was with teh 8th gen. A 2006-2011 Si axle back with fit the 2012+ R18.
