EP3 Type R exhaust.

[Conbon]

I just bought a 1.4 ep3 civic and am planning on lightly modifying it.
I've already ordered a set of tenzo R wheels and lowering springs.
But another idea i've had is to add a full type r exhaust system.

I was just wondering if this will bolt straight on or will some fabrication be needed.
My friend says it should but hes been wrong about this kind of advice before.

To be honest no I do';t think it will bold on and also I think it will loose you power if you do fit it anyway.

Thanks for the advice. well actualy iv thought obout this my self and realised that theres no way it could be a bolt on job. The typeR exsaust is miles wider than the 1.4 one. so duh i dont know why i hadent thout of that my self.
So i guess what i want to know now is what chopping and welding needs to be done to get it to fit. Has anyone here done this mod on an ep3? Iv seen it done plenty times on the older models.
And as for the power i dont think what ever power i would loose or gain by playing with the exsaust on this size engine would be sygnificant enaugh to make an impact on the drive of the car. performance wasent a concern when i bought a 1.4

Personally I don't see the point, but I'm sure it could be done. Why not just get an exhaust that is built to fit straight off?
