this is the one i got: http://www.exhaustproslinc.com/carunconwita.html

i got the one with the 2.25 inlet/outlet... i also got it with no air/o2 bungs... it's going to need to be modified by a muffler shop... it's going to need to be cut, flanges added and an o2 bung added... i'll keep you updated, i should be doing it within a month. good luck.

The only O2 sim that works with honda OBDII ECU is the following:

http://www.lakeeffectperformance.com...ns&product=428

The do it your self ones and the others you might find will NOT work. If the simulator does not use RPM and TP sensors as inputs then it will NOT work, and you will still get a CEL.

Also you may or may not need an O2 sim with a high flow cat. Some of the high flow cats flow a little too well, and you can still get a CEL every few days/weeks.

Random Technology also makes high flow cats. They mare more $$ but they bolt on, the others you will need to weld on.

you shouldn't throw a code with the random tech cats... they are quite expensive... like 200 bucks. they are carb legal though. good luck.

97+ prelude are all the same. So yes it will work for you. I don't think OBD1 uses a 2nd o2 sensor like the obd2 have. So there is no need for the O2 sim on older cars. If you want to make sure look for a O2 sensor AFTER your cat, if you don't see one then you will not get a CEL from using a strait pipe (no cat).

I have heard that even with the random tech cat you can sometimes still get the CEL to come on

So its not 100% that the CEL will not come on, eventhough i am buying a Random Tech cat. So is there anything out there that will work instead if buying a stock cat from Honda? Does everyone actually have the stock cat on there car's? What do some of you guys have on your car?
p.s. Thanks for all your help fella's, i really do appreciate it
