In order to take hand on the CI Exceptions system, you may override the CI_Exceptions class :
create the file application/librairies/MY_Exceptions.php with

Code:

class MY_Exceptions extends CI_Exceptions {

    function MY_Exceptions()
    {
        parent::CI_Exceptions();
    }
      
    function show_404($page = '')
    {    
        parent::show_404($page);
    }
      
    function show_error($heading, $message, $template = 'error_general')
    {
        //Do whatever you want from $message analysis
        //and | or
        //return parent::show_error($heading, $message, $template);
    }

}
