    Question 4th Gen Accord or 5th Gen Prelude Exhaust - Will fit?

    would an aftermarket catback for an 89 prelude fit on an 89 accord?
    http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
    thats the catback system im lookin at, i like it better than the one for the accord, no need for a 4inch tip, im no ricer

    Re: exhaust question

    monza already makes one like that for the accord. and i dont think one for the prelude would fit. i mean different bends and shit. though the pic looks the same you never know. i guess you woul have to wait till someone with an accord and a prelude answer you and let you know but.....i say no

    Re: exhaust question

    Just get the one for the 86-89 accord that is already made, i have it on my car and it works fine. The only thing is is that you will have to change the muffler after you have like 120whp because it starts to be restrictive. They also make a header that is OK figuring that its the only one still made. Header- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/86-89...spagenameZWDVW . Exhaust- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PaceS...spagenameZWDVW .

    The tip really doesn't look bad, but like i said once you do more mods you will have to replace it anyway, but the 2 1/2" piping is great and its worth the $200.

    I think S&S discontinued their parts, I have their header and im pretty sure they dont make it anymore.

    Re: exhaust question

    hmm, well, i can get a pic of a full cat-tip exhaust for our cars and measurements since i have one sitting in our car. and if someone could do the same for the 5g prelude, then we'll be in business in figuring this out.

    lude and some accord exhausts from 3rd to 5th are fairly close, just around the rear suspension you might find some problems, also with hanger locations.

    You'r looking for a few things... the main thing is the bend by the gas tank and the other by the suspension... the next would be the lenght of the straighter portions of the pipe.

    well they have the same blocks so im gessing that it would fit and if it does the the intake would to so you could switch you single card intake with a doulble card intake

    i work at a junk yard and i did an interchang and all the 2.0 accord blocks are the same and so is the prelude 2.0 block. but the accord blocks are the same from 86-89 and i think the prelude block is the same year to.

    ok 86-89 accord fuel injected and carb and 86-87 fuel injected engins are the same.

    Re: What year Prelude Exhaust Will fit?

    The A18 head will have to be swapped if you want prelude dual carbs on the A20 but this thread is about exhaust from a 5th gen prelude fitting the accord not a 2nd or 3rd gen prelude exhaust fitting the accord.

    Re: 5th Gen Prelude Exhaust - Will fit?

    I have just bought a 5th gen prelude exhaust on ebay and it just got to my house today and so far it looks like it will work. I layed it out under my car and the S bend looks the same so I hope it works the only thing that I'm not sure of is if the pipe coming off the muffler has enough bend in it to go under the rear suspension. I will let you guys no more when I get it on my car.
