If I were you, I would of ordered a hi-flow cat. They work just as well if not better than test pipes and they are better for the environment.

well, i guess i will just stick with my test pipe, i just didnt want this to turn into hiflow vs. test pipe debate...

i really need answers to the other questions such as the intake mani from the ITR, and whatever...

thanks for the help

ITR intake mani wont work youll have to get the skunk2 mani which is basically the same as the type r. As far as the cams go you can use itr cams and valvetrain get a 2000 and up intake cam or a ctr intake cam (same thing) though.

Looks like we have a few environmentally friendly folks here! Its ironic...I was just finishing up a powerpoint presentation I have to deliver next month on Hybrid Cars and here I am in a racer/honda forum posting up irrelevant information. What a funny world we all live in!

Peace

2000+ ITR cams = CTR cams

Yes, get those cams. If you have a B18C1 head, get the skunk 2 mani. If you have a B18C5 head, leave the ITR mani on it.

-HTH

Edit: Can't spell

so basically my next steps in building my car should be cams/cam gears/springs/ retainers, right???

should i worry about changing the intake mani with mild cams like the ITR's??

what other options do i have without spendind an enormous amount of money...

it is looking like this cam job is the best bang for my buck at this point...suggestions??
