JDM 4-1 HEADER & JDM CAT
I found a guy selling both & buying it next Monday but im not sure about the JDM cat. Will it work for my 2000 ITR?
Do I just buy the JDM 4-1 header & get a custom cat to make it fit or will the jdm cat be good enough? BTW I got the APEXi N1 catback system.
And oh yeah........ I dont want my check engine light to stay on.

What exactly do I need to do? And what about the catalytic?

Well, I got another problem here. Very confuse on what im going to do.
I been looking at the hytech header and really tempted on getting it, but once I pickup the JDM header thats it. So pls give me some advice here.
Here is my plan for the car, since its my daily driver I really dont want to do any other mods beside the basic I/H/E, cam gears & ecu. Thats it, so I want to make the right move. So far I got the comptech air intake & icebox, Apexi N1 catback ( which I might replace eventually with the hytech header back system, if I go with the hytech header ). make sense???
Will the hytech overkill since im not really going all out with the motor?
I promise the guy ill pickup the JDM header Monday, so I got a few day to decide.
I just notice alot of people with this type of car do same mods more than once. I just want to do it one time.
please respond to my original question about the JDM before giving me advice on which one to go for.

anti reversion chambers?
What does it do ?
Since both are nearly identical & im not really planning to go all out on the motor, I cant go wrong with the production version right?

go to www.hytechexhaust.com and look in the honda section. it explains a lot.
if you have the budget for a hytech, i also recommend you look into smsp and rmf as well. they both make excellent headers that are right up there with the hytech.
