Default Header question on my b16b ctr

Can i use a usdm itr dc header on my ctr motor and it still bolt to my stock cat?
i have a jdm itr 4-1 header on it now with a j's test pipe and the exhaust just sounds too raspy and loss of low end torque so i just wanna put my new oem cat on and run a usdm itr header if is is 2.25

Why do you figure you have a loss of low-end torque?

Back pressure.

It sounds like you're moving towards the old "you need back pressure" notion.

Care to explain why installing a test pipe leads to loosing low end torque if you "know what the hell you're talking about"?

Research? Alright.

Hows first hand experience on a dyno?

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=674552

proves that the difference is within a ft.lb of torque in the higher RPM range. So, show me some of YOUR research proving that test pipes rob low end torque.

Which means that the test pipe would actually make more horsepower and torque than a stock cat, unless you're trying to say that a highflow cat somehow makes "less" horsepower than a stock cat?
