ok i have a b16 with a Hytech replica tri-y header and a thermal R&D exhaust i have to put a cat on my car but only have like 8 or 9 inches between the 2 has anyone else ran into this problem

 

just go to a muffler shop and have them weld in a pipe with the same diameter as the rest of the exhaust.

 

test pipe or anything other than a cat is not an option cop where i live check for the converter

no there is nothing wrong with it in my state but its illegal to not have a converter

 

Then have muffler shop hack a few inches of the exhaust piping off fit a cat in there.

 

the smallest they can find is a 12 overall length and they said it cant be cut i live in the middle of nowhere iowa so thats why i asked cuz if i can find one someone else has used i can just do it myself i have seen some on ebay but its ebay

 

You said you have 8-9" room, you need at least 12"

Why can't you slice off 3-4" off the I pipe?

 

12 is the smallest they can get thats why i was asking to see if anyone knew of a smaller cat other than the ones on ebay and heres a pic of what i have to work with i really dont want to cut the exhaust only if i have to

 

I just went thru the exhaust on my rex and im pretty happy it.

you dont want to have to cut any part of the header. all you need to do is cut a section off the pipe behind the flange on the pipe that runs between your cat and your muffler. if you need 4" more room for the cat then cut 4" out of that pipe. and reweld the flange back on, poof your done, any muffler shop can do this. or if you can unbolt it and take it somewhere any welder can do it. measure twice cut once btw

personally im running with a glasspack in where your cat goes.

Thats what I did. You are going to have to do that as well.
