So I'd like to get a header and b-pipe, and keep the stock muffler. Easy enough, but I would like to keep the cat on there. Now I know I cant keep the cat I have with a header cause of its location now. Is there any parts combo out there that I can just bolt right up? This may be difficult, but i dont want to spend an ASSLOAD of money. I mean im expecting to spend a bit. Any useful info is much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Man, all these views and no replies, Has anyone done this before? Im sure i might need to weld an oem flange on the b-pipe for the oem muffler, but how bout the cat issue?

Your gonna kill your exhaust flow using a stock muffler. The whole point of getting an aftermarket exhaust is to provide more airflow. Just buy a ES oval muffler in black. It will appear stock.

That wasn't my question. I'm keeping the stock muffler, but thanks for the input.

so whats your question?? you want to get headers and a b pipe and keep the stock cat and muff.

First of all---your stock cat tottally defeats the purpose of doing an aftermarket exhaust. You will need a high flow cat to make any kind of differnce.

Either do a full exhaust, or leave the stock one alone. Cause it'd be a waiste of money of you went through with your idea.

Get a 99-00 EX exhaust manifold and header, then buy a $200 ebay catback system. Sell the axle-back to a ricer, and use the b-pipe.

rite now im running a test pipe, neuspeed header, and 2.25 b pipe to stock muffler and rite now the muffler a very annoying tingy sound when i hit the gas and it gets to about 3k it so i assume you would most likely get the same results. just to give you an idea of what type to sound you can expect with the setup you want

I'm running a DC sports 4-2-1, into my stock exhaust with no cat, 1 resonator and 1 stock muffler. It sounds like ***, but a hell of alot cheaper than OEM replacement!
