Yes, it will.
Don't bother turning a clean car into a gross polluter for 4 hp.

Agreed. Not to offend, but test pipes are not good for much except making your car a touch louder and pollute more.

This has been covered a dozen times over. Not worth it for the 3hp. Dave your being too generous. Your going to pollute the air, be very loud and quite possibly expose yourself to carbon monoxide poisoining.

:chuckles: Honestly, I think that's the first time anyone's accused me of that.
My only excuse is that I was in a rush. h:

You're absolutely right on all counts.

your un-catted intregra will actually put out the same pollutants as 25-50 catted integras.

like the others have said, the extra 2-3hp isnt worth it. in fact, that 2-3 hp is only up top too.
