Default CompTech Cat issues

My GSR came with a full Comptech Cat back exhaust and in the trunk was what I assume is a Comptech high flow cat. My problem is that it only has one O2 bung at the header end and no sensor bung at the exhaust end. is there something I dont know or is it just the wrong cat? Its the right length and has the right bolt patterns. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for helpin a Newbie out. :-D

there supposed to be an o2 bung on the header and on the cat. Maybe you can have an o2 bung made on the cat

The Comptech high flow cat comes with a prewelded O2 bung. So I'll assume that's not a Comptech cat you have there.

96 GSR's have both O2 sensors in the catalytic converter. I don't know how it is for other years, but I know for a fact that there are two because I have one. Must be a cat for some other year. You can always take it to a muffler shop and have them weld another one in post matrix.

I'm just giving suggestions to make it work. Sounds like you bought a lemon.

Did you even take that Integra out on a test drive before you purchased it?

That's something that should have been caught with a visual inspection. (This is in regards to the unplugged connector for your Vtec pressure switch)

I didnt buy it. It was bought for me while I was on deployment. It didnt have a working tach when I got it and I felt the rev limiter was too low and the CEL wasnt lit up but I found out later that something was wrong when i got working gauges in it. I dont know much about GSRs so it wouldnt have looked any dif to me on a visual inspection at the time. I guess I'll just buy a new solenoid and just fix it that way.

Where is the CKS sensor at also?
