Default Which cat GSR into sol

Edit: The title should have said which CAT

My goal is to keep my catback unmodied, keep the stock header/collector location and just make up the diffrance in the cat. Right now, I have a full GSR car at my disposal. It has the OEM cat, ect.

Reason I want to not modify the cat back is, I am waiting for RSR to produce a catback FOR the del sol. Right now, I could just use the EG's and do a little cutting. However, If I do this, the welds will end up rusting through and then the quality of the exhaust is lost. If I just get a coustom size cat, no welding, my setup can last for years to come.

What do I need to do to make this work. Would just using the stock GSR cat work or do I need something shorter or longer?

The GSR cat will not make up the difference in length, the GSR header is physically shorter than other B series, about 4" shorter. You could:

1.) Buy a B16/ITR header and it will be the proper length then use a standard Civic or Integra cat. converter and it should line up with the exhaust side flange.

2.) Use a GSR header or GSR stock manifold and then have an exhaust shop make an extension piece to go between the cat and header.
