Should I get a High Flow CAT Converter?? - 8/21/2008 12:14:41 PM    winndogg34 Posts: 36 Joined: 3/18/2008 Status: offline After looking around for some moderatly cheap HP increases, I came across this. Thoughts??? It seems very cheap to me, but it is a genuine JDM part... Will this give me much of an increase on a relativly stock 2.4L automatic ??? Will this set of my Check Engine Light? Might be more of a pain having to take it off everytime i get my car inspected (once a year in PA). Thanks for the imput. Are there any other cheap ($0-200) parts i could get to pep up an automatic? I feel like my car in a stick would dominate me in a race... what can i do to pep it up ??? 03-05 HONDA ACCORD 4 CYLINDER HIGH FLOW CATALYTIC CONVERTER W/FREE SHIPPING [link=http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/yhst-11591528099111_2005_58767190][/link] 03-05 HONDA ACCORD 4 CYLINDER HIGH FLOW CATALYTIC CONVERTER FREE SHIPPINGItem# HFC-HAccord0305-4cyl$34.98 Product Description This JDM Real Stainless Steel Jdm Converter features: OEM quality; CNC Machine Flanges, Replaces OEM Converter; Direct Fit; lightweights Designed; Increase 12HP Japan design, JDM sport manufacture 100% BRAND NEW AND READY TO SHIP after market off road use, increase 12HP maximum Fitments: 03-05 HONDA ACCORD 4 CYLINDER _____________________________ 2004 LX Sedan 2.4L AT Injen RD Intake (CAI) Bosch Platinum LR Fusion Iridium Plugs Progress Technology 22mm Rear Sway Pioneer DEH-6400 Infinity 6.5''''''''''''''''s Rockford Fosgate Amp JL12W3V2 Grill-Tech grill LingLong 225/45/ZR17 Post #: 1

Removing the cat is only good if you have a fully built race engine, and you dont. < Message edited by blinkz0rz -- 8/21/2008 12:20:17 PM > _____________________________ 02 Accord SE coupe F23A1 SRI (in reply to winndogg34) Post #: 2

But realistically speking, removing the cat and adding a "jdm" one will only give you a slight HP gain, IMO not worth it, save and get your self a complete system, you will be more satisfied with that dude. And as far as pepping up your car for cheap, you can go with a simple SRI from ebay, and NGK plugs IR,and wires. _____________________________ The good times of today, are the sad thoughts of tomorrow (in reply to blinkz0rz) Post #: 3

But whichever one you choose to get will be better than the drop in. As far as replacing the coils, never really looked into that before. Stock should be fine i guess. _____________________________ The good times of today, are the sad thoughts of tomorrow (in reply to winndogg34) Post #: 5

But thats just me being me. Theoretically you can just get a cheap CAI or SRI and change the filter to a K&N. If i were you(and i love trees), i would go with the SRI, due to the fact that you seem unsettled with the risk of having water damage of any sort. _____________________________ The good times of today, are the sad thoughts of tomorrow (in reply to winndogg34) Post #: 7
