Alright so i have an appointment today at 3 to get a new cat installed, my cat has a hole in it.
I have a full exhaust system installed, headers, 2inch (i bleeave) piping, larger can. all put on by previous owner.
now i know nothing about exhaust

When i walked into the exhause shop to make an appointment i noticed they cary cherry bomb exhausts, does this company carry a cat that would work on my 91 crx? if so are they inspection passing?

i live in pa where my car is emission exempt because of the year, but it still gets a visual look over.

What should i ask for when i take my car there today?

when i made my appointment i requested a 2" high flow cat. not sure what there going to put on if i dont specify more.

 

I'm pretty sure that company only makes those cherry bomb things, and most everyday exhaust places dont carry high flow cats so your probably going to get a regular cat instead.

 

If I were you, I'd purchase what you want installed ahead of time. That way you KNOW what you're getting.

That company does only make cherry bomb and glass pack cats. i didnt realize till after i posted this that they are mainly for trucks and muscle cars.

and as far as i know MOST EXHAUST places do carry high flow cats. Maybe your average mechanic shop doesnt, but exhaust specific ones do. at least the ones around me do... and i live in the boonies...

I deffinately got a high flow cat. and im not sure if there is any company that makes a 2" cat that isnt high flow... and my exhaust is 2"...

I wanted it done quick and didnt want to weight to purchase a cat... also i have no clue what to look for to buy one anyway...

I just checked the receipt and its a Thunderbolt cat

The only times I'd worry about getting a hi-flow cat is if your car is turbocharged or if you paid for hi-flow and didn't get it.
