Hi Guys,

I am after the OEM centre pipe and back box for my 5th Gen H22a8. I've been told the a5 and a8 centre pipes are different lengths as the CAT's longer on the a8?

If you have one, please let me know.

Cheers

A8 center section is an oddball I'm afraid. Honda can still get them from Japan but are mega expensive. Be cheaper going custom.

Thanks for your reply mate. I'm now thinking to replace the who system with an a5 pipe, CAT, centre pipe and back box. Just so in the future I am able to find and fit an pipe more easily too.

You can use 4g parts for this.

Hi Ian,

Are the centre CAT, centre pipe and back box the same? I always thought the 5th was a longer pipe?

Cheers

AFAIR;
5th gen A5 exhaust parts are the same lengths as 4th gen.
The only difference is the hangers for the rear section are different on 5g's to 4g's.
A8's are the odd-ball length-wise.

That's good to know!
I replaced the complete system on my a8, put the complete a5 system including downpipe.
Cheers for the tip Iain.
I still prefer the 4th Gen to the 5th, just doesn't feel like a real sports car.

I have the full Type-S exhaust back box with the OEM bigger chrome tips with me, if it helps you can have it for free.

Cool, I've left it in the garden with the rubbish waiting to be cleared out but I'll put it back in the shed for you. The tips are all good, apart from a small dent but not visible unless you see the car from underneath and the nut that holds them have rusted so you have to replace them. I'll clean it up and put in the shed for you.
