If I buy a hi-flow cat for an accord on ebay will it fit my 2.2?? and do all honda oxygen sensors work on my car? my secondary one is fucked and my cat is also screwed up.....

thanks,
M

might not pass emission with a test pipe. the accord should fit fine. And i do believe all Honda O2 sensor are the same, i could be wrong.

If you get test pipe, its gonna be hella loud and very raspy. Had one on my old accord and at first it sounded cool, then got very old. I had a hole drilled in it then tapped for the O2 sensor..

Get a high flow cat.

so if you tap a hole in the test pipe and plug it with an o2 sensor then no check engine light.

yeah,. but you have to have a good sensor,.. and maybe your test pipe will fry the sensor...

Do the high flow cats have a place for the o2 sensors? The ones that I've looked at on ebay don't appear to have an o2 sensor hole.

Well if your bolts were rusted on like mine were then I recommend getting it on a lift. And my High flow racing cat didn't come with a hole. But the funny thing is my DC headers did(stock headers didn't) and than the little test pipe inbetween the header and cat that's for a stock location, i was wondering if I could just put both O2 sensors before the cat and still be fine?? would that work??

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work because the sole purpose of the secondary Oxygen sensor is to make sure that the catalytic converter is doing it's job...
