which one is going to give me the most power

 

what do you have on your car? if you're not highly modified, i'd go for the high flow cat....less pollution... you won't feel that minimal gain from high flow cat vs testpipe.... that little power isn't worth the pollution IMO

 

test pipe is better because it doesnt restrict any air flow at all.....but its definately not environmentally friendly, you'll guy high off the fumes at a stop light (especially if your running a chipped ecU), but the gains are nice, the exhaust sounds nice, and yeah....

 

ive got a 95 gsr with a testpipe very nice sound and it picked it up a few. I like it alot worth the 50 bucks.

 

I saw a dyno once of a test pipe and then a high flow cat on the same ITR. The testpipe gave 2 more peak HP over the cat, but the cat gave 2 more peak tourque over a test pipe. Integra's are in more desparate need of tourque than HP, get a high flow cat. Plus they're good for the environment, you'll feel better about yourself for getting a cat (if you have a conscience).

 

In my opinion I had a 90 GS Integra and when I installed my header and cat back I also went with a random technology stainless steel unit but after about 2yrs the Random Tech clogged up and melted!!!! So on my next car when I installed my header and cat back on my 95gsr I just hollowed out my stock cat, noticed a minimal gain, didn't have any check engine lights come on and there was no unordinary smell from fumes, so if it was me i'd just hollow the stock unit save some money and kill the environment!!!!

 

i have a hi-flow on my 01 Ls only thing that sucks about it is being that 96 an higher is OBD2, youll throw a code. you dont have that problem tho.. anyway i like the power gain i got from the whole setup..was worth the money

 

I do believe that I'd be running a Carsound cat over any testpipe on the market.

Test pipe is going to give you more peak power. Theres pros and cons to a test pipe. Good things is that it flows better, its cheaper, and its simple. Bad things is that it pollutes the environment, it can sound raspy, and it'll be louder. Can't really go wrong with a good high flow cat, so I say go for that unless you're really on a budget.

is throwing a code on a obd2 teg something to count on once the high flow cat is installed,or after time when the cat breaks down?

 

i just purchased my hfc...ill tell ya when its installed, if i like it or not!

No. As long as you have the 02 sensor installed, you shouldnt be throwing a code.

Some high flow cats (Carsound) flow almost as many CFMs as a test pipe and actually burn cleaner than a stock cat. Its all up to you...a testpipe is optimal, but its not a huge difference over a good flowing cat.

 

depends what you have done to your car, even with a hfc you might still throw a code. the sensor detects back pressure.

 

about a month after gettin the hfc installed i threw a code 67 which is invalid catalyst system. it only reads that cause on OBD2 the O2 sensor reads more air do to the "hi-flow" therefore setting off a trigger and causing the computer to throw a code. i dont no how to get rid of it besides converting to OBD1. if anyone knows it would be greatly appreciated cuz that dam check engine light is real annoying to look at

Just because there's no CEL, doesn't necessarily mean it's running "fine". I failed smog horribly with my Carsound, even though I had no CEL.

 

Living in Michigan= no smog inspections.
