I have found a decent exhaust and can prob pull it for a good price. It is a Thermal Research & Developement full cat back exhaust. It retails new between $500-$600 usually and can prob nab it for around $200. It is used but is in good shape. I have had this type of exhaust before on a previous Civic hatch of mine and loved the way it sounded, soft, not loud and fart can like. I was planning down the road on either getting one of these anyway or looking for an RsR exhaust, but then i found this piece.

The point of all this, i know they have different part numbers, but anyone know how well this would fit or how it would have to be modified to fit the Crx? Any info or input would be helpful.

Some pics of the acutual piece:
Only bad part is that the car that this was on had the battery in the trunk. It ended up getting knocked over and apparentely dripped battery acid through the empty spare tire area and onto the muffler, thus removing the chrome.
Other than that, its in good shape.

The carnage:

This is the car it originally came off of. You won't see the "battery damage" because of the way it sits on the car anyway.

I'm pretty sure the hatch exhaust is a bit longer, but if you can cut and weld you could make it work.

Yes' it's a tad too long. Nothing that a grinder and welder can't fix tho.

axle back identical, midpipe an inch or so too long.

Thanks for the replies.

I figured that just by looking at the Civic, that it would be a tad longer than the Crx.

So my next question, in your opinions, would it be worth picking it up for $200?
I myself cannot weld, but i know some ppl that could get the job done.in

Personally I wouldn't. My car came with the Thermal R&D exahust, and I gave it to Jared and made my own. I think it sounds a little bit ricey. He ended up cutting the tip off and welding on one like mine with the glasspacks.

This would have been my 2nd Thermal Exhaust, but i'm too late, he already sold the exhaust.
As for it being ricey, i loved the 1st one i had on my old hatch and it didn't sound ricey at all, it was quiet but still had a deep tone to it.

Makes no difference now, he already sold it.
