I am selling my 05x stock exhaust, and someone with an 04x wanted to buy it, but I have no clue about the exhausts for the 04x. Would it fit for him or would it require modifications?

 

Hmmm that's one I don't know...

 

are you considering parting the exhaust out?

 

I'm not sure because sometimes X's are different or the same, but in general 03/04 mufflers have different hangers than 05/06

 

I'm just looking for the mid-pipe, I'm from long island, please keep me in mind if you decide to part it out

 

No, I wont part the exhaust out. Then Ill be stuck with a muffler and y pipe that no one wants. Maybe a bracket can be bought like with the HKS muffler?

 

bump. anyone? maybe ill try asking the dealerships service center or something.

 

y-pipes are the same 03-06.

The 05/06 mid pipe fits the 03/04, and is a recommended easy upgrade. The 05/06 is lighter and slightly less restrictive. You will notice a small performance gain on the 03/04 just by swapping to the 05/06 mid pipe.

The 05/06 muffler hangs from the chasis slightly differently than the 03/04, but bolts to the mid-pipe the same. There is no other difference in the muffler itself, just the hanging method, so stick with the 03/04.

If you own a 03/04 and want to stay with a stock exhaust, I highly recommend upgrading the 03/04 midpipe to an 05/06 while staying the the 03/04 y-pipe and muffler.

As for the X vs. non-X, the exhausts are identical, no worries. Suspension mods is a different story though...

 

^ I always thought that the 05/06 sedan midpipe on a 03/04 sedan provides a better sound but no performance (HP) gain?

 

At a minimum, the 05/06 mid pipe is significantly lighter than the 03/04. I'm not sure of actual dyno differences though.

 

03 and early 04 midpipes are huge and restrictive. Look at the difference between this one and the 05/06. Oh and the coupe one is in the background.




Y-pipe is different on the X. RWD y-pipe will not fit X's, it'll be hitting some part, I forgot. But an X y-pipe will fit both models.

 

cool thanks a lot for your help guys!

 

Anyone have a picture of the 03/04, 05/05 35X Y-Pipe?
