Exhaust Question

Hey watsup guys
Recently my stock exhaust broke apart and I am in need of a new one. I know that the 97 accord catback exhaust fits my car(97cl), so I went searching for one on ebay. Problem is that when I find the exhaust i type in what type of car I have and it says the part does not fit my vehicle. I dont want to buy one and then find out it doesnt fit. for example:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1994-...ies#vi-content
If you type in a 97 cl in the search it says it doesnt fit, do any of you guys think it will fit? Thanx

1st of all that exhaust is probably sub-par quality and will sound like ass, 2nd of all if it fits the 94-97 accord, it WILL fit the 1st gen CL because they were designed using an almost identical frame and the pipe routing is the same. The site is designated to say that it will only fit the car it was first designed for. So if you want it, you can buy it and it'll fit with minimal coercing, but it'll probably sound bad IMHO.

Apex'i World Sport 2 all the way. That eBay "JDM N1" garbage is going to sound like an angry bumble bee.

apex'i ws2, greddy sp2 are both great systems. Tanabe and Invidia make good systems too.

The magnaflow sounds subpar to me compared to the ws2 and sp2, i had it on my 1st CL and it was louder than i expected, but it was still a good muffler.

Imo from my experince and exhaust setups I've heard for myself, Magnaflow is a little deeper but the ws2 is more of a smoother purr. They both sounds great but it's all preference.

I loved my WS2, such a nice exhaust. Wished they made it for the 3G TL.
