Do these things mounts to the stock cat?

Would I be safe to assume that on the b-pipe its going to taper down alot to fit onto the stock cat?

Thanks

No your stock cat won't fit but it can be modified. I had a 3' flange put on to pass inspection and emissions, It was a bit too tight but it worked. I now have the down pipe flared to 3' as well as a 3' cat from summit.com and test pipe for the track.

Thermal R&D features a line of exhaust systems designed for the Turbocharged Acura and Honda. These systems are made of 3" mandrel bent stainless steel pipe and require some slight modifications to your high-flow catalytic converter. We include an extra 3" flange for an easy installation of the exhaust system. These systems are a true 3" and will not connect to a stock catalytic converter.

thanks guys.

next question, are they loud? I have never seen one/heard one in person........ any pics with it on the vehicle also?

falcongsr

its a matter of opinion. they arent quiet, some people dont mind...it was too loud for me, but my car is going back to stock daily driver and i wouldnt mind it at all if it wasnt for the fact that i spent a few dollars putting a nice stereo in my car and i want to enjoy it.

for a turbo car its worth it. any 3" exhaust with the same flow capability will have the same noise level. flow and noise are directly proportional.

Flex pipe will be will be installed on the Weds. I did the three inch cat and downpipe flare on Sat. Before that I was running the stock cat like this.




I'm running 7 psi, and I have run it hard about 10 times and no cracks yet, but I wouldn't recommend it with out a flex pipe like you say. I'll get more pics on Thursday.
