Catalytic converter and turbo options?

By any chance, does any other liter engine size, 3.5 or any other cats mount up to the 3.7? Do all catalytic converters fit across all j series engines and maybe any of the k series converters, please excuse me Ive tried to search for maybe a way to look this up but i cant find any compatibility lists for converters or manifolds.

Are there cheap turbo manifolds or adapters that fit the 3.7?

Its just the cat that comes off right isnt the exhaust manifold like part of the head on hondas? Im asking because i want to buy a turbo setup from a junkyard honda and maybe attach it to this engine but im wondering what engines converters might fit this mount on the 3.7? Were there any 3.7 turbos from honda/acura?

Can I gut the cats honeycombs and not get a CEL does anyone know the success percentage rate of gutting the cat and ecu not throw a code on factory tune?

Sorry to flood the forum with yet another question.

no factory turbos yet for V6's from honda so you are SOL on factory options.

Aftermarket there are some shit and some ok quality Accord V6 ones that you can adapt to work.

Why not get a real setup that's made by a builder or someone that can weld and get everything done properly. You gut the cat, you'll get a CEL; you can get around it with K-tuner or defoulers.

pretty much the only way is to custom fab everything, including the exhaust manifold, downpipes, blow off valves, intercooler, etc.

basically, it's only worth it if you build it right the first time.
if one is adapting someone else's kit onto the J37, one is gonna end up cutting and rewelding pipe anyway.

Can easily be cuatom made buy a shop who does this for a living but it will cost you a bit. You can have them make the manifolds and tubs to the intake then drive it home like that until you can finish it. Either learn to weld or pay someone. There is a s/c kit for around 5,500 but results may vary. Keep searching.
