I wouldn't mod my auto either, i just go for looks but none of that air intake or exhaust crap, it's a joke IMO !!

 

Jeez, why don't you guys help the guy instead of bashing on his car. He got it for a reason, just give him some positive input.

im guessing though that the consensus is that if he wants the exhaust, that is all he should get. it looks like most people, w/ or w/o an SI, believe that the megan downpipe will add very little gains for an NA application for the cost.

dunno about the whole cat thing...but it is located right after the headers (open your hood and you cant miss it for us r18ers). i would assume it connects after the cat

 

The catalytic converter couldn't be connected to the block or head, it is a wear item and as such needs to be removed to be replaced. I don't believe the Megan Downpipe will add much performance simply because IMO the biggest constriction in the exhaust pathway is the one piece head/manifold design. Unfortunately the car was designed around emissions and fuel economy which hurts its performance.
