Cat Converter for 97 EK hatch ?
I have a 97 EK hatch with the stock cat in it that keeps cracking and I'm tired of it. I want to put smog legal headers(dc's maybe) and a cat underneath. Can I do this legally ? Which cat can I use ? Would I need to extend wiring so the 2nd o2 sensor will be able to reach ?

Cat "cracking"? What does that mean? Is the inside of the cat rattling loose or is the cat housing itself cracked? What's causing the cracking?
Nothing like spending $$$ to replace parts and never addressing the issue that caused them to fail in the first place.

I have the cat that comes right out of the exhaust manifold. The metal cracks right in the middle between the #2 & #3 exhaust ports, right above the O2 sensor, not inside or anything like that. This is the 2nd cat this has happened to for me. I don't know how you would "address the issue." Maybe you can google EK catalytic crack so you can see what I'm talking about.
