I have a 97 honda prelude as my beater car. I just put AEM CAI and DC sport header on. I plan on getting a cat-back exhaust eventually. But, would it benifit me to gut my stock catilatic converter? Any hp at all or will i loose tourqe. Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks

 

Eh, your not going to get that much hp from it, maybe 1 or less. Might as well just save yourself the trouble

 

a 97 honda prelude is your beater car?

 

Yeah, what's your weekend car, a 360 Modena?

 

ZO6 Corvette

 

hm.. i just bought a 'high flow' CAT (obx racing).. they are cheap.. less then 100$... usually about 60-70..

i just installed it today, and i can feel the difference... i like it :-P
my old one was worn out anyways..

and you do know you wont pass emissions testing for inspection with a gutted cat or a "racing cat" (aka testpipe/fancy gutted cat)

 

Know a site I can get that at? Thanks

 

i got mine at a local shop, but i'll look around when i get home..

just search for "obx racing cat" on google or something.. that'll give you a nice start

 

I found a place that has it for $97 or so. Its for 92-98. Ractive has one for 92-96. Will one for 92-96 work? I'm guessing it would be same size and everything. Let me know.

 

What do you think of the Z06? And compared to the Prelude? I hear such conflicting things... out handles everything but a Porsche on one hand, burns tons of oil on the other... I don't know what to believe. Like to hear the opinion of someone into Hondas, though.
