Hello civicx,
I have seen a few post on here about members putting the Stock FK8 CTR exhaust on there SI sedan and a few Sport Hatchbacks.
I have not seen any posts on the type r exhaust on an SI coupe, So heres the first.
The CTR exhaust is the correct length and does not need any part of it shortened or extended.
The sedans need the tip extended.
The exhaust did need all the hangers relocated.
This is an affordable and easy task for any muffler shop.
I simply purchased a 6 pack of 3/8" hangers off ebay.
I started by removing all the hangers of the factory type r exhaust.
I bolted the type r exhaust up to the front pipe and supported the exhaust with stands.
The hanger in between the resonators needs to be relocated back a few inches.
I simply cut and bent a new hanger and welded it to the exhaust pipe.
Continuing our way back, I removed the bracket/hangers just before the muffler.
Again I cut, bent, and welded new hangers to the factory chassis hanger location.
The hangers on the mufflers you have two options.
Option1
I have seen other users use the factory muffler hangers and weld a new hanger on to there frame rails.
I did not like this idea. I wanted the least amount of modification to the chassis as possible. I also wanted the exhaust to be easily reversible.

Option2
I decided to weld hangers on to the muffler and use the factory mount.
this required making a few bends on the hanger. This may also not look as good, but to me its better then the look of welding to your frame rail.
Finally the rear most mounts.
I choose to cut these off the car. Although it was not necessary the exhaust does get close to potential hitting the hanger. And with this being a auto x car, the exhaust may travel up and down harder then daily use. It also looks cleaner with the two hooks gone. A very easy reinstallation if required.
Here are some more photos of the fitment.
Dont mind the muddy tires. drive way to the shop was soaked from the last 4 days of non stop rain
I hope this is helpful.
