Default Need new cat... maybe?

My car smells sometimes especially on the freeway. I'm not really reving it too high like 3-4000 Max so do you guys think it might be the cat? If so, I want two direct fit cats for my 95 Accord EX. One that'll help me pass emissions and a high flow one. I want direct fit cuz then I can easily swap between them hehe. Anyone have one for sale? (this will be up on the classifieds too) Thanx.

if you're gonna replace it, you might as well get a hi-flow one, they're cheaper. i still pass emissions with mine.

you sure that's the problem though? you might just have a leak in your exhaust system somewhere.

I have a 95 EX and put a Bomz (freeflow) brand on mine. You can feel more pressure from behind the muffler and hear the difference too.

You sure i can pass emissions with a high flow cat? I don't wanna spend like $300 on a nice direct fit high flow cat cuz $300 is a lot of money. I might just get a $40 off ebay and I'm planning on putting the Greddy Evo Catback on so do you think that combo will still let me pass emissions in washington? I mean I want a high flow cat, I just need to make sure i can pass emissions when i have to...

Also I don't really think it's a leak, It doesn't smell like exhaust... kinda smells like **** or rust i guess kinda... ?

Before you go replacing, do you have any body damage or rust-thru? Any cracked tail-lens or f'ed up door jams rubber?
