Anybody who says having cats is a good idea obviously doesnt realize that all the developing nations have HUGE unregulated factories witch pollute extravagant ammounts of waste into our atmosphere.

Removing the cat on ur 4cyl honda wont do a damn thing to the environment. Especially when my buddy with a built 89 Cobra runs with no cats lol.

We are just getting a visual emission test so i am forcded to get a high flow cat so i will post the results soon.....

And I had a high flow cat on it when I did a smog test and it passed with flying colors, I took it off and went to dual and I ran the same readings for Smog..... So I dont really know if a high flow cat even does anything but look like a cat...
I am going to have to call :bs: on this until I see a pic or a web link to these said headers. h:

True. The hedman header for our cars is collected, so I don't know what he's talking about. Dual exhaust is by far not nessicary for any uber-low displacement Honda engine.

As for pulling the cat and still passing smog... that's impossible unless you are running mostly denatured alcohol in the tank.
