Honestly since the heads have the manifolds built in. and all this is is a test pipe. there should not be that much research involved. You should be able to have a local shop copy the factory design with a little bit bigger piping and no cats.

I agree getting interest is good. but 50 people is alot see if they can be used on the 7th gen accords with the manifold cast into the head. try http://www.v6performance.net/.

Also I am not sure if you guys who are talking about the environment going to sh*t because of no cats. I properly tuned(hondata , emange, whatever) car with no cat will run cleaner then an everyday car with cats.

you're right...
my boss is going to buy the entire cat/Apipe assembly from the dealer and we're taking it to a fabricator in town to have a jig built.

then fab shop will tell me exactly how much and how much $$$ it will cost

You think that a tuner can make a car run cleaner without cats than Honda engineers can make it run WITH cats?? Maybe on some old CRX with a wornout cat, but not these cars. At any rate, if a single high flow cat is installed somewhere in the exhaust, it shouldn't be that bad.

Honestly, what makes you say that? There are a lot of sedans out there that handle pretty nicely. The 04-up TL is no slouch for a FWD platform.

What Acura dealership do you work at? Appletree? Just wondering.
