Default Will this testpipe replace my factory cat WITHOUT modification

http://www.ebay.com/itm/T304-STAINLE...item27c2b2f650

I dont need to worry about emissions. And Im making an order from this company on ebay and they sell a test pipe that appears to be quality, Im just curious if the thing will drop in and fit in the stock location on a stock Crx with stock exhaust and header. Just out of curiousity if it would actually help me out, quick comparisn of how much the stock catalytic is holding me back I guess. I'll probably switch back shortly if the smell is bad, as this is my daily, more of a ***** and giggles thing so I dont want to have to modify my exhaust or flanges to make this pipe work.

It says it is 2.25" but the flanges appear to be the same as my stock exhaust.

Will in bolt in place with very little to no mods...

not worth doing especially with stock exhaust system. on;y thing you'll achieve is an increase in noise and emissions. will that fit? i dunno

whats wrong with 2-4hp?? Im also unsure of the condition of my factory cat.

I just wanna try it, stop thinking so much on how to turn the idea down.

I was just hoping if someone knew if that was the correct looking orientation/flanges etc and if anyone used one with success of fitment and swappability etc

Its closer to 1 to 2 hp as there shouldpnt be more the 1 to 2psi of back pressure unless your cat has failed... You wont even feel a diffrence, in your mind you will but you wont be any faster.. They also have a rattle when you take a cat off with a stock exhaust that sounds like crap.

Looks like the rite size, but I don't have it here in front of me so there's no way of knowing for sure or giving you an accurate answer.

The seller says the pipe is 16.75" long, is that the size of the factory cat?
