uuuuhhh, maybe it would help if you gave exact specs of your car?
Aftermarket Cat?
coupe or sedan?
etc.?

oh its a 97 lx accord sedan. i order the 116 kh07 exhaust system still using the stock cat. when i bolted it all up the mounts for the rubber Holders dont line up with the mounts on the car. And the middle piping doesnt fit the housing either like the lenght is too much.


I am not much of a car person just starting out so not sure how to really explain it. but it is liek it doenst fit that car =\

I have the Apexi WS2 for the exact same car.
According to Google you have the right exhaust.

When I got mine installed, I put new rubber hangers in because you might as well, and a few were torn. When putting it in it isnt going to be as easy as you think to put the hangers back on with the exhaust...it will be pretty resistant. You also have to realize the point of an aftermarket cat back exhaust is to increase performance. To do this, the increase the piping diameter to allow for better flow. So it may seem like it wont fit, but it really is just going to be a tight fit.

Ok so thanks everyone for the help we figured it out. I guess there is a seperate modle for the EX/LX/DX now and they didnt list that on their web site so The modle i have was correct from the site as being the correct part for my 97 LX. However it doesnt fit the lx modle but it does the ex so i am stuck with a system i cant even use.

Have you tried calling the company? They should be held responsible and allow you to send it back.
I forgot about the whole EX or LX/DX thing. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

I called them and they were basicly clueless cuz they said my exhaust should fit all modles so i took pics and emailed it to them. They told me to go to the site i order it from and they thought i was insane cuz the part was supposed to fit all models and it doesnt. So after hours they also wanted to see the pic to make sure so after 15 pics they decide i was right but they gotta go through some other **** and said they would call me in a few days.........meaning im probly gonna be stuck with this **** and out some money =)
