Turbo set up with a CAT
I am trying to find a good cat for my setup. I have never run a cat with my setup before and I don't know what I should be looking for. I have been running a straight through exhaust but it is too small so I am upgrading to a custom 2.5" exhaust but I wanted to go legit and have a CAT. does anyone know a good cat to run with a 2.5" DP and exhaust. I know I will loose some performance but that's okay.
My set up is jdm b18c1 drag kit on hondata s200.

Go with magniflow. I passed emissions with their 3". Check out the 53006 or the 91000

If you decide to go 3" with the exhaust pm me. I may sell mine since im making it a race car
**Edit** Why not go 3" ???

Re: Turbo set up with a CAT
It seems 2.5 makes sense for you. The sound difference between a 2.5" and 3" is small. Both make noise, the cat helps though. Plus turbo cars are quieter than N/A. I dont know anyone on here running a resonator with a cat. Both of those together will hurt your performance pretty bad. I wouldn't do it. You spent your money on performance, dont hurt it. Its hard to say how loud it will be, thats all in your muffler

Re: Turbo set up with a CAT
I was running a custom 3" with a Vibrant cat, and vibrant resonator. the resonator is straight through so I don't think any of it hurt me, but now I have a test pipe and the resonator. the sound difference to me is the same.

A resonator flows pretty damn close to what a piece of straight tube does. I say fit as many as you can to help mellow it out. I used to run a 3" cat, two 3" resonators and a 3" muffler and it sounded really nice and deep.
On another setup, I made over 300whp at 11psi on my stock b16 with a cat and a 2.5" exhaust. that was awesome for a car you want to put some miles on and be able to hear the radio still.

Re: Turbo set up with a CAT
Well I guess I will start out without a resonator and if it is too loud for me I can always add one later.. right?

Re: Turbo set up with a CAT
I just ordered a magnaflow cat 91006. oval shaped 2.5" in and out single bung. And I also ordered a 2.5" magnaflow oval muffler (5"x8" and 14" long) to go with it. I didn't get a tip cause I may like it without. Anyway I think this will be a good setup for me. Thanks everyone for your help. I will post pics when it's all together.

Re: Turbo set up with a CAT
I have a fully built and sleeved B18 with precision 1000cc injectors, a single walbro 255 and the 3" high flo cat. I passed in Colorado with this set up, Im running E85. Its all in the tune. My tuner charged me an extra $85 for the emission tune while he did my 20 psi tune. Now that I have the tune, no more emmision issues for me!!

Re: Turbo set up with a CAT
hey guys, I know this thread is old but my project went on hold for a while. So here are some pics of the new exhaust installed. Sorry about the poor quality phone pics. I'm getting tuned next week and I will post sound clips after.

Re: Turbo set up with a CAT
Yeah this it's the same setup. It sounds great at idle but I haven't revved it up much because there isn't any engine management because I'm in the process of upgrading to hondata s300 and I had to send off my old s200. It will be tuned by Tuesday if everything goes right. At idle it sounds like a stock car.
