I'd think that you'd order it for the 88-91 crx...

yeah order that one, or just gut your cat out....its really easy..just unbolt it, take a long screwdriver, wear a mask, and beat the hell out of the insides until its nice and "freeflow"

their all basically just a straight pipe, no matter what size you get itll be the same thing. Wont make much diff if your driving na, makes a hell of a diff in a forced induction car though.

SlowCivicCRX, your way is just plain stupid. Does nothing for performance, and hurts the environment and smells like ****. Gutting the cat is a stupid riceboy mod.

Dude why don't you get off his ***. WHo the hell are you to tell him his way is a "stupid riceboy mod."

Yeah while you go spend $$$ on a Hi-Flow cat and get the same perfomance as a hollow cat, then come back and say his idea is stupid. SOunds like he saved more $$ than you, eh?

If you don't feel like spending the $$, why not gut the cat?

Gutting the cat is not a riceboy mod. Plenty of people with forced induction run straight pipes. Why would racers run no cat if it didn't help. Yea gutting the cat on a n/a car makes it sound terrible and smell like ****. I should know, i did it cuz I didn't have enough money for a high flow. Once the sound and smell annoyed me enough I got a high flow cat.

Phatwhippin_CRX = I told him that because it is. Cats actually aren't that restrictive at all. They're straight through, and only produce a couple more pounds of backpressure tops. If you gut the cat, all you'll do is take the straight-through cat and enlarge it, shortening the length of the moving gas "column" in the exhaust. It'll also reduce flow velocity, hurting the bottom-end power. It also smells and is illegal. I'm not a treehugger, but I'm not gonna **** up the ozone and more for .03 seconds in the 1/4.

91civic = You said it's not a riceboy mod. See above. Then you say import draggers use a straight pipe. This is correct. Where you're wrong is that there is a HUGE difference between a straight pipe and a gutted cat. A gutted cat will swirl the air around inside, and do all those bad things I said above. A straight pipe will no doubt make the exhaust much more free flowing. What riceboys need to realize is that gutting their cat does not give them a straight pipe. They are simply two different things.

And phatwippin, if you don't like the correct information, then I suggest you skip the rest of my posts. It's the truth, like it or not.

Okay...so you say if I gut the cat I am a riceboy huh? Well I did a few years ago and it made 2tenths off my quarter time....but that is right captain 22 posts.....you know. Test pipe = straight through.......Gutted cat = straight through, but not as free flowing. So I have a 3" test pipe on my car now....am I a rice boy? If someone doesnt have the loot to get a test pipe or high flow cat cat.....Dont be a hater because someone found a cheap alternative to freeing up some of the HP. You prolly are just mad because you spent 100 bucks on a high flow and your boy gutted his and can beat you with the same swap. Bah....people like you make this site poopy....Go play in traffic mr 22 posts.....

You're right blown hatch. I should have known I'd get people pissed off making fun of riceboys at one of their most popular hangouts. And keep in mind, that's 22 posts under this name. I've been around for more than a decade.
