They say that just to cover their own asses. Almost every aftermarket part is labeled " for off road use only"

It is illegal..... and it is not emissions friendly.....
..personally, it is not worth putting a "tees pipe" on accord.... it's too much car for such a piece of crap of catalitic converter replacement ...(..talk about a bad replacement.... )

let's say if you remove your lung and put a supermarket plastic bag into your body, will they work the same?

you don't have to replace it everytime but if you get caught by the poo poo, good luck, you are looking at 600-1000 in fine plus smog ref.(if there's emission law in IL)

Header...... yeah.... it's a good mod...
You will feel the difference right away when you install one..... just be sure you get a 4-2-1 instead of some 4-1.. because that could weaken the car a little bit... ...knowyahmean?!
