'06 exhaust on '05?

Can it be installed on '05??
Hondata said intake & header are recommended, but did not say exhaust. Maybe it is not that important?
What do you think?
The 06 TSX has the following improvements:
Increased exhaust flow
* Exhaust Head pipe increased from 60-65mm
* Higher flow catalytic converter
* Main (single) exhaust pipe increased from 54-57mm
* Rear (twin) pipes increased in diameter from 42.5 to 45mm

Should be a direct bolt-on, but 95% of the benefit will come from the cat alone. Many 04-05 owners have done the swap to the 06-08 cat already. Swapping the rest will have negligible results, and probably not worth the effort or cost.

Instead of buying the 06+ cat, get a high flow one like the RT cat, or the other one that you can get from a vendor on here, heeltoeauto.com. Better flowing then even the 06 stock and will most likely be less expensive.
