VX exhaust difference between CA and FED?

[gtstwincam]

My FED VX has a catalytic below the manifold.

Is the CA VX similar or is the catalytic in the middle of the car near the shifter?

Probably just as you described.. Actually the VX isn't the only car to do that, at the very least the '96+ Civics with the D16Y7 all have that type of catalytic converter/exhaust manifold. That would mean the majority of Civics save for the Si and EX. However, since you're talking about the VX which is a '92-'95 Civic, here is what I found in the service manual. The '92-'95 Civic CX and VX both share the same type of exhaust manifold and catalytic converter while all the other Civics of that era have a traditional exhaust manifold and catalytic converter.

^^^Truth

The CX and VX exhaust setups are the same for Both Fed and Cali spec.
