when i called random technology(one of the best high flow cat companies), who has a high flow cat, they said the V6 and I4 have different size catalytic converters for our 6th generation accords, but a V6 catalytic converter can be modified thru cutting and welding to fit an I4. its all about the installation whether or not it will work well(meaning the high flow cat or test pipe). so im sure a test pipe will work, in case, contact them, they should have better details. when i talked to testpipe.com they said they had one that was universal for our accord 6th generation, so i dont kno if it makes a difference if its 4 cylinder or V6, contact them is what i say, thru phone or email. if you need a new OEM cat, i have one for an I4, as well as the o2 sensor for a 1998+ accord ...

Um.......i dunnno where u live, but in LA, you'd be lucky to find 1 exhaust shop out of a million here that would make u one, since its super crazy illegal. The shops wouldnt even dare thinking about a test pipe.
