if you guys can answer my question it would be big help.

i want to upgrade my stock exhaust system on my 1997 Civic CX (3DR) so far there is just a AEM cold air intake. i've heard some great things about the catco/carsound cats, since i'm too poor to afford a whole new exhaust system, i was wondering what i would need to do to go about getting a cat on my car, most likely i'm going to have a cannister and headers along with it. would i need to weld them all together? can i just take them to a mufler shop and tell them to put it together? HAHA.

thanks in advance!

Your car has the cat in the exhaust manifold doesn't it? Do you have emission testing where you live?

Wouldn't he pass emmissions if he had a 96-00 ex cat with exhaust manifold of carb legal header?

It seriouslt wouldn't be worth upgrading your catalytic converter without upgrading your exhaust system aswell. Plus, you can risk the chance of failing emissions.

This is exactly what i was going to suggest to him but I don't know if the emission laws would allow him to do it or not even if it passed the sniffer test. If he could do it this would be an excellent mod to do for him.

I passed the euro spec sniffer test here with flying colors on my turbo setup with a carsound high flow cat.
