Exhaust Question

So it turns out i like the Cl way to much to sell it. So i am back to buying things for it. I just bought my cat-back exhaust and header tonight. Now i need a high flow cat. Is there any direct replacement high flow cats that i can buy or do i need to get a universal? How about the test-pipe i saw on ebay? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/High-...QQcmdZViewItem Worth it do you think? Where i live you dont need emissions stuff anyways. Or should i just keep the stock cat. I am planning some things for the car so this is next. Let me know your thoughts.

I am gonna try the OBX ceramic header and Greddy Evo 2 cat-back. Had it on my last car and loved it so we will see how it is on this car.

i did research... Theres mixed reviews on every header out there. So i decided to take the chance and go with OBX. I read up on honda-tech and several accord forums and there are mixed reviews on it. I personally found more good than bad but we will find out what happens wont we.

CATCO high flow cat FTW...had it in my CL and LOVED it...plus it had the 02 sensor bung already in it. Direct fit, great performance AND i passed inspection with it, which you will not do with a test pipe. I believe Agranado has the same one too so he can chime in

I grabbed obx for my car as well, putting it on tomorrow so in a week or so I can give a review on it if people would like, get some of our own experience on this forum rather than every other accord forum.

BMT1520-If you have the money, go for DC sports all the way, its a great header. If your on a tight budget, you can get obx headers for less than $200 shipped for the 3.0. Like it was said before, there are mixed reviews, but I've read more good than bad. If your really going all out, I would get comptech headers, bu that'll run you in the $1000 range.

Where can i find this direct replacement CATCO converter? Also inspection isnt a problem for me i dont even go for emissions. But i would like to keep a cat for shits and giggles not like my car is a race car by any means!

i wouldnt really notice...it went on with my 2.25 inch piping and magnaflow exhaust so i couldnt notice the difference in that alone...but the freeing up for exhaust air was pretty damn good with that setup

They're all high flow

Catco Catalytic Converter
Don't settle for a stock converter when you can get a high-flow Catco catalytic converter for your vehicle
Catco converters can give you OE fit and quality at significant savings over a factory converter
Avoiding vehicle inspection can cost you big: You don't have to worry about the emissions police when you have a Catco converter
Catco converters use stainless and aluminized steels to promote long life on all their converters
