Options here:

If you want to live longer, stay with your OEM cat.

If you really want some extra power with just a longer life, go with a high flow cat.

If you want to die sooner with cancer, go for straight pipe.

I used to have a test pipe for a short while and I took it off. Once I put back my cat, I smell fresh air.

guess you had shitty gaskets or something, i run a testpipe on my boosted gsr and it smells fine.
i like the raspyness the testpipe produces with the ws2, and since its a quiet system its not noticable til you really get on it.

Test pipe=Raspyness in exhaust
Test pipe=Car smells funky
Car smells funky=No girls will wanna ride
No girls=no va jay jay.

Do what I did and get a high flow cat, you wont regret it and your exhaust will sound better.

i know all this information what i met to ask is the length of the high flow cat or test pipe should be. If i should order an integra high flow car or an ek hatch high flow cat since i have a gsr in my hatch. idk what one to get and i d0ont want to hack in to anything to make it smaller if i order the wrong one.
