High flow cat w header worth it??
I have the typical mods and headers and am considering a RT High Flow Cat. I have done the searches and read a host of posts but I have not seen any definitive first hand experiences concerning acceleration/performance increases.
I understand that there may be a torque loss and that any gains realized are at the top end. My question is will a high flow cat cut my 0-60 or Qmile time by a tenth? The RT's go for a couple hundred and then there is the labor. If I don't around 10hp then it is not worth the $$
Sure would appreciate some first hand experiences with this....

I believe you gain a tenth in the qtr for every 10 hp you add. As the gains with a high flow are in the upper end of the rev range that would most likely not be case here.

I looked into this too and could not find any dyno #s for the j32. The newer accord guys and The TSX dynos claim/show gains only at the very top of the RPM band and a loss in power through the rest. For the money I don't see it being worth it unless you run boost and race your car. You will make better gains with a cold air intake for much cheaper...why not pick one up if you're looking for more power, plus you can do the install easily. Furthermore, I think a $400 racing cat should have some dyno #'s available to the consumers.
