definately run a high flow cat.

 

Is there any power gains at all... with test pipe or loss with cat???

 

from what i have read...and i would research this yourself both routes kinda suck in the aspect that there is no "right" way to go. a testpipe will be loud as (fill in your friends moms name) after you banged the hell out of her last night. but a high flow cat will need to be replaced in 2-3 years. its a toss up...personally i bought a smsp modified high flow cat for my dc jdm 4-1(which is still on back order from DC) its up to you really...test pipe is loud but cheaper

 

My exhaust seem'd pretty darn loud with my stock cat. I have a custom made 2.5 in. exhaust but was running a stock header and cat, seem'd loud... But I guess the test pipe route would be even louder.........

What is a link for this smsp? I always here about it but never have seen the site or any products...

 

contact dave on here his handel is smsp and he'll set you up, cost me 200 for an obd1 modded cat but thats because im running hondata

 

Where did you get the 2-3 years figure from?

 

has hondata given you good results?

Also with what modd's do you have?

its installed into the p28 and sitting in my garage waiting on the header.
mods: aem cai, fuel rail, regulator and filter. skunk2 stage 1 cams and cam gears
hondata intake manifold gasket, hyper ground kit, dc 4-1 jdm header, smsp cat and apexi n1 exaust i believe thats it

 

Sounds like a winning set-up

I haven't quiet gotten that far but I will. Is you header on back order? Mine just got here 2 days ago and I had been waiting for about a 1- 1 1/2 mon. I was pissed. oh, well.

I plan on getting my damn front lip and oem body kit on first before anything else. Then I will decide on what other options there are for me.

Sounds like a nice set-up hope you get the header soon though..

 

thanks i will post up results for sure when i get dyno charts.... im hoping to break into the 13's as a drag car and start auto xing more as well. did you get the new stainless version? the company that i bought it from said dc was on back order because the header is now going to be gompletly stainless i guess beforr the collecter flange was mild steel or something like that...still prolly a week before mine showes up

 

no SS header just ceramic.. I ike SS but I don't like the way they change color....

 

my carsound cat crapped out on me in a month

If you're running really rich/untuned ... it's just a matter of time with ANY catalytic converter. IMHO Ed
