My integra is in need of either a new cat, or a straight pipe. I don't really want the straight pipe b/c of the noise, but I'm also selling the Integra by the end of the summer so it doesn't really matter to me. I have a Jackson Racing cat on it now, but all the welds are cracked because it's a cheap p.o.s. Anyone know any good brands for cats and straight pipes?

 

Pickup a Carsound cat. You can get one for under 100 bucks. People don't like buying cars with straight pipes.

 

I would definatley recommend a carsound cat I have one and it works great.

 

Get the Jackson re-welded.... I suppose you are just talking about the heat shields right?

 

it depends on what you have done to your car. if its mostly stock get another cat. a straight pipe wont relaly help on your car unless you have alot of work or a turbo.

itll only smell. destroy the enviornment. be dealy for you to inhale. produce sut all over ur bumper.

But more HP HAHA so its either the person u racin die or you be dead and its funny drivin slow but its also fun drivin fast

 

its actually worse for ur motor to lower the backpressure too much.

a striaght pipe when not needed makes u lose some torque.

 

My car is extensively modified, but it's already loud as hell and I don't want to make it any louder. I'll go with the carsound cat.

You'd be hard pressed to get more than a 3-4 Hp Advantage over the Car-sounds Cat if you went with a straight Pipe. Hardly a worth while advantage.

You'd be surprised at how much better your car will run with a High Flow Cat plus you'll still be able to pass Emissions test.

Exactly.

go with carsound

 

Carsound, that's what I've ordered. But, if your selling the car than just get the JR one welded back up.

 

if ur selling it , just use what you got , you wouldnt want to spend more money when your car is gonna be sold

 

The Carsound one is made by magnaflow right?

 

Get a kitty, pass emissions! If you dont require it where you live then you should get what you think is better. That's my opinion. if your going to sell it, hmmmmm i'd get the cheapest working stock cat.... hit up the junkyard

Yes, and it rocks. Definately passes emissions too and seems to hold up well..

to carsound

 

We sell them at work for like $90 Canadian, i though they were just cheapies.. but eh..

 

I know I'm selling the car, but I just want to fix everything that's wrong with it before i sell it. The cat makes this awful rattling noise b/c the welds are broken. Anyone jumping in for test drive will say "**** this pos!"

 

Anyone know what size I would need for a 98 GSR with a Comptech S/S Power pro cat-back exhaust?

 

hey how loud is the carsound cat from a stock gsr cat?

 

I dunno, but my Jackson Racing cat wasn't any louder

 

just get a cheep cat if your gonna sell it. your not gonnacare about performance. if your gonna keep your car get a good cat. i dont think anyones gonna wanna buy a car with no cat either...

 

Instead of the carsound, get a resonated t-pipe made, it should be cheaper and add minimal noise to your exhaust

*that is if you havent already set your mind on a cat!

 

will a straight pipe cause a CEL or throw codes?

 

yeah if its an obd-2 car... 96-01

 

Doesn't matter cause my CEL is on all the time!
