Cat length and size on swapped eh2 (eg) hatch
Ok, i have a 1995 Civic DX HB. I dropped in a 1996 B18C Motor (Sir-G / JDM GSR) and put a Greddy SP2 Cat-Back Exhaust (60mm piping i believe) system on it.
My question is: How do i go about finding a cat to fit this setup? does carsound make cats this length with the right size piping as well? I have a test pipe right now and its 15.25"s.

Re: (petersayarath)
I'd recommed a high flow cat.. Carsound is an excellent choice. I have an SP2 catback also with a 2.5" carsound cat from kteller.com .
I use a DC JDM ITR 4-1 header w/2.5" collector, my cat came out to be 15" exactly.
Since your test pipe is 15.25" you could order that size, but I believe that I had that much of a gap but intentionally ordered 15" bc of the size of the flange on the Trust/Greddy exhaust and the flanges on the Cat.
When I got my flanged cat from Kteller though, the flange on the exhaust side was incorrect. I had to have it slightly modified at meineke. If you order it make sure that the flange is on the outside for the exhaust side.> The one the sent had a small section of the cat that stopped the flange.. The extra spacing would not bolt up correctly with the exhaust..
If you pm me i'll try to explain this better.

That's simply incorrect. USDM gsr manifolds/aftermarket headers are about 4" shorter than all the other integra headers. In other words the gsr cat will not fit.
