My tC has 2!!!!!! The first will be removed when I put headers or a turbo on it. I'm probably going to leave the second one on.

L2R: The restriction from most cat's is pretty low. I understand your point about the restriction being there, but the cat is much larger than the pipe, so say it has 50% free area and has twice the cross section ..... the net free area is the same as the pipe.

this is true

I mainly took mine out because i would have needed to buy a prelude one and just putting in a test pipe is a hell of alot cheaper.

and who doesnt love the smell of 93 octane without a cat..........i love it

i'm being serious

Cats hardly create backpressure, especially if it's a high flow cat.
