Has anyone here tried to put a center exhaust on an EX-T?
From what I am seeing through research is the complications are the back bumper and the spare tire bowl. Is that all there is?

Not impossible, I have a few friends that have done it just need the sport diffuser ( in your case probably a SI coupe diffuser) and find a exhaust shop that can do it, I tried doing it with a type R diffuser/ garnish end result is that I didn’t like the way it fit cause obviously it wasn’t made for it

With the right type of diffuser, Si or aftermarket, you could have a shop do something like @Silverxsurfer mentioned. Not sure where I found this picture, as I've had it in my files for awhile, but the pipes might end up similar to this to get around the spare tire, etc.

Yes, you could go the route myself and a few other people have done which is to install the SI diffuser and then get a custom exhaust installed by a shop.

Would the exhaust have to be custom? Would it be easier to just cut off the spare tire bowl? The exhaust I have my eye on is the popular quad MAP center exhaust.

It will hang too low. I'd cut semi circles in the bumpee and go duals instead of messing with the spare tire hump. It would be more unique everything has center exhausts now si, the popular sport civics

I didn't cut off my spare tire bowl as all I did was a muffler delete which is what I would recommend..

Do you have, or could you get a photo of the underside of your car?

That seems like a waste of metal, money, and weight. Why didn't they just run a single pipe with a single larger resonator and split the pipe into two if they wanted a dual exit exhaust?
