Default need picture of stock/aftermarket cat on RSX-S

OK, real fast, here's my problem.

I am putting a comptech race header on my RSX-S and a comptech catback exhaust. I am currently trying to figure out how to incorporate a high flow cat from SMSP into my setup. The problem is he needs a picture of the cat location.

So if you have a picture of a catalytic converter on your race header on a type-S, please post it up. I am trying to stay legal with a cat so I can pass inspection.

Thanks for any help.

This is the cat on my Mugen header, but since the Comptech header is longer, I doubt you will be able to fit the cat without cutting the exhaust.

Ahhh, that's a good picture. I am planning on having to cut and reweld the exhaust so that's not a huge deal. I'm just trying to provide some info that Dave (SMSP) is seeking so he can possible make me a cat.

The cat comes complete with the Mugen header:

The exhaust is a Fujitsubo Powergetter.

The Mugen header is awesome. It was such a beautiful piece and keeps the car legal and not stinky. It will not make as much power as something like the Toda or SSR headers.

Depends on your personal idea of what it is worth. If you are needing the highest quality while staying legal, it is the only way to go. If you want to make the highest hp, look elsewhere.

yeah, im not ragging or anything. i've been wanting one too. although isn't having quality with being legal getting oem?

have you gone to the dyno with it? can you give a more thorough impression on it? being stinky and great craftsmanship isnt a great review if you know what i mean. and lastly what else do you have as a setup for your car? mugen airbox as well? how does it sound? etc. etc. i havnt seen a dc5 mugen header review

I have an Injen CAI, Mugen header, and Fujitsubo Powergetter exhaust. Adding the header definately increased the midrange and top end pull. I should be hitting the dyno this weekend, but I do not have a before number to compare to.
