My friend is trying to buy this ITR at Carmax (he and I both work there) but in order for him to buy it they must run an emission test first. Well the car has a test pipe and wont pass.

Basically I would like to "Rent" a stock ITR cat for about a week. The person who help will be compensated for his generosity. And I need this ASAP...

By the way the car has a JDM 4-1 header and spoon exhaust, will the factory cat bolt up without any leaks?

PLEASE help...thanks

Chris

:edit: well I guess the jdm 4-1 wont fit stock cat... so if anybody has stock header and cat fo Rent (will give you $$$) for one week, please PM me

the stock cat won't bolt up the to the JDM header w/o leaking.

Yes, you need a JDM length 2.5" inlet/outlet but I'll sell you a new cat for a good price

 

are you positive.. even with a home made gasket to help with any leaks?

well if anyone has a 2.5 inch highflow cat that already has the flanges welded on I would love to Rent it for a week. Or anyone with a JDM cat as well


please help

Chris

how much? PM me

 

it still won't guarantee you will pass emissions though.

If my US stock one worked I'd rent to you.. But it won't

but at least they will put it on the dyno and try. Its pretty much stock motor wise so It should have no problem passing with a cat.

So all these people running the JDM header have test pipes or high flow cats? I had no idea.

I knew there would be a bottle neck but I didnt think it would be impossible. I mean if the stock cat can bolt up to the spoon intermidiate pipe which I believe is 2.5 inches should the stock cat bolt to a 2.5 inch header collector?

Even if it leaks a little bit, I might be able to get the emissions inspector to plug his hears with some $5 bills haha

 

I can let you borrow mine, I'm in NOVA. On one condition though, he must buy mine instead of the one he is looking at

so you have a stock cat we can Rent?

Your car is beautiful, but he is getting a unbeatable deal on a nice 98 type R... JDM everything but front end... I'm talking about interior,wheels, a bunch of stuff

PM me if you have a cat I can borrow and your location

thanks, Chris

 

carmax is doing the emissions test, or your friend is trying to?

I didn't know carmax did those tests....?

if he can't buy it, what will they do with it? :evilgrin:

 

Yes Carmax has two dyno's in house, but they are only used to do emission on carmax cars that are going to be sold to customers. If it does not pass emissions then it will go to a wholesale auction were only private dealers are allowed to bid

it will probally go to some shaddy dealer and be ruined for the rest of its life. Please people help save a fellow type R!!!!

 

Your best bet is a stock header with cat.

-Victor

if anybody has stock header and cat I could RENT (will give you $$$) for a week PLEASE PM me

Check my vouch thread in my sig... I'm very trust worthy

the issue is the length, not the diameter. The cat you need will be SHORTER than the stock cat b/c the header you have is longer than the OEM USDM header. IIRC, you need something about 17" in length.

Someone probably has a cat for a jdm header/usdm length exhaust for you here....

chris - who notes the only two 'jdm' (i.e., gsr) length exhausts he knows of are the fujitsubo RM-01A and 'JDM' Mugen Twinloop (they made a USDM length one too).

looks like im slow to respond..

 

by "spoon exhaust", if it does include the spoon bpipe...you can add that to the list of JDM length b-pipes also...

 

or just use a cheap stock 94-01 non-vtec header and cat and/or 00-01 gsr header and cat

cool..that will work to, does someone in the area want to rent it to me? PLEASE

 

As Zygspeed suggested, I would probably contact SMSP. They are located in VA, and Dave can get you the correct cat you need. Too bad you're not closer to GA, I have a stock exhaust you could have rented! G'luck.

 

I have a non-VTEC header I'll give you, if you feel like coming up here and picking it up. You'll need to get a donut gasket and the cat still though, so I don't know how helpful that is...

 

I have a cat, dc sports header-cat-apexi dunk exhaust. I'll trade you for your stock setup?
