test pipe = jail time or car impound of 5k for you and 25k for the shop that did it. for + 1 hp

The magna flow cat is nice. Also the chevy 3/4 ton has a 3in cat with twin bypasses that works excellent for a replacment. You will have to have a muffler shop neck it down but they do it all the time.

hahahha. Don't ever try getting something like that from honda. You can get a carsound on ebay for lik $55 shipped. Just go to an exhaust shop and have them put the flanges on and make it the right size.
