So i have been told something different from every shop i've talked to now and am getting a little fed up...
So some shops have told me that i wont need to buy a new catalytic converter Others say they will inspect it and see And the rest tell me i will HAVE to have a new one So for anyone who has done an exhaust system if you could give me your two cents on the matter it would be really appreciated:) car is in perfect running shape, and has 90xxx miles on it... -------------------- 1 JL 1,000/1v2

Honestly there have been several magazine articles and the last I read they did a test on an Integra, and the most they could gather was 1hp more over a high flow cat if you go without. So given that it's only 1hp difference you might as well be smog legal.
