also the rice factor, im sure that .957 whp gain is worth it to make the car sound like crap and throw more crap in the air than need be.. unless you are boost do yourself a favor and leave the cat on, and i hope your "hook up" gets caught one day

some all motors can do it but lets face it the normall civic driver that say y0 lets throw a test pipe on normally has a 1.5 or 1.6 sohc and its a stock motor, with the right mufller it would sound ok, ONLY AT THE TRACK i put the test pipe on and with my set up it sounds ok but raspy, its a ricer thing to make your car loud. thats why i refuse to drive with it on the streat i hate loud mufflers as it is

93 civic? if you've still got a single cam in there, its gonna sound like total ****. Not to mention you'll just lose power because you wont have enough backpressure. Don't bother.
