lol long time since i posted.
anyways i bought a ws2 catback for my car and my ?'s are

1) has anyone done this and could you lead me to a good post about it?
the area where the exhaust would hook up to the cat is tri-angulr (sp) flange and will not just bolt up to y5 set-up
( the hx aka.y5 has the cat right @ the manifold )

2) would a whole exhaust set-up, header cat and catback work like a normal y8 without any issuse in my y5?

need to know and if you don't know please don't post k kids

 

The exhaust is not designed for the HX, so you will need to either buy the header/cat type set up as the ex, or make an extension pipe from the oem manifold to the exhaust system.

yeah thats what i thought thanks for the input.. would the motor/ecu have any adverse affects whit an ex type set-up?

hx is for hippy core. For the tree hugging environmentally friendly folks Honda placed the catalytic convertor is closer to engine to warm up faster / start working sooner. Since the p2n ecu uses the 5wire o2 sensor for leaning the **** out of the engine, I'd get a ex cat and a different header. The 99-00 d16y8 header is a nice oem replacement. I would strongly advise keeping the cat + o2 sensor as removing it will disable lean burn and render the vtec-e useless.

 

thanks for chiming in bense

I'll be keeping the o2 n cat.
I'll just be replacing the cat in a diffrent location (under the car insted of @ the manifold)
i am familiar with the y5 tech vtec-e blah blah i'm just wondering if placing the cat below the car and extending the 02 sensor under the car will mess up my tree hugging ride such as throwing codes or not idling right ect...
