Default eibach and the swap

Ok so Im getting ever so close to doing my h22 swap. My current suspension setup is eibach sportlines with kyb agx's. Should I be worried about my suspension, like does it need to be altered at all? Secondly un related to suspension does the h22, especially the header have clearence issues fitting in the accord or once its in? Lastly can I use my current worldsport exhaust system with the h22 and will the h22's header bolt right up to my current cat?

you defninalty will want to run a wider diamerter cat on teh h22, especially if your running an aftermarket header. the h22 weights a little more than the f22, but it wont make an difference...mayve the front will be a fraction of an in lower, but thats not an issue at all

What gen accord do you have?

The cat won't be a problem, and neither will the cat-back. However, if you want to buy a wider cat, do it, but if you are tight on money you certainly do not need to replace for the H22 swap.

The only problem you will run into is that the H22 header is longer than the accord, and therefor you will need to cut and weld the header to the cat.

I have a 97 accord coupe. So is there any cat that will line up right and just bolt up to the header and exhaust and make there no need to weld. Id rather not weld the cat to the header.

Well you can line the cat with the header and weld the back piece to the cat-back. Or, you can cut and weld a piece off of the cat-back.
