I'm picking up a 1998 Accord LX...the one with the Vtec. What I need to know is where in the exhaust is the cat converter and what is the size of the pipe? It is the 150HP LX engine if that helps. Also, I am looking for a 4-2-1 header used if possible...thanks for your time.

the cat is right after the header downpipe before the mainpipe starts....not sure of the pipe size.

Might as well ditch plans for a header....the OEM one flows well and you will not see much over a 1-2HP gain over stock.

 

1-2 hp? seems kinda small....

exactly.....so why waste the money unless you are plannin some headwork???

 

i believe its 2" piping...if you plan on getting a new cat back exhaust you may as well get a new header also, they complement eachother well. But personally i wouldnt waste money on either.

 

Know how much a header is worth on a f22b2?
