new owner with a few questions
i drive a 1996 civic dx hatchback auto. my mother bought it for me about 2 weeks ago. it actually came to me as a surprise because i was in the market for a miata. she told me she bought it from a cop and it only had 36K, new paint, new brakes and SI rims.
after owning if for about 2 weeks already, i put in a straight pipe(3in. for free) with stock exhaust, painted my weather strips(still got to open the door and unclip it to sand down ALL the rubber), and got a ebay quick release+hub+steering wheel combo from a friend for free.
ok back on the topic, my friend got caught cause he had a straight pipe and oem exhaust with headers and aem v2 intake and his fine is pretty big because they saw he had no cat, so my question is, should i get a whole new exhaust or just weld a cat back on the straight pipe? im pretty noob with cars but still learning more about it.
also, my alarm doesnt make the sound when i lock it, it beeps sometimes and other times it doesnt beep. what can i do about it? PROBABLY THE BATTERY?
as for my window, ive done research and i think its off track so im going to fix that soon along with my headlight because it has condensation inside.

Re: new owner with a few questions (KDL323)
because of the 3' pipe your losing back preasure if your car is stock and therefore losing horse power
and its probably a bad connetion to answer the alarm question just check the grounds and what not. dude just put the stock stuff on and save for a swap or a turbo kit
