Default RE: not legal, but good idea?

i have a 1992 Accord Lx, i had a hole in a little piece that connects from the headers to the pipe that connects to catylictic converter. It sounded terrible, and im pretty sure i didnt gain anything from it, if i did have any gain, i didn't notice it. Also now that it's fixed, my car doesnt seem to want to stall anymore at a stoplight like it used to. Another thing you may be able to do is go to a autozone store, they have peices of exhaust pipping. Buy a piece, cut out the area of the CC (catylictic converter) and replace it with the peice from autozone.

HOTT dude, I've got the same car (except EX) and problem as yours. So here's my thing, since I already own a cat-back (not installed, 3" system), should i just buy 3" headers and a performance catalytic converter and install that or should I just take it to ExhaustPros and have them fix it?

It's also nasty for the car, cause valve damage or other problems, with the hole in mine, it backfires, flupflups, and causes a heavy deceleration, you don't want to cut a hole in your stuff.

This action will also make your Check Engine Light come on and tell you that you need a new Oxygen Sensor...

If you're looking for free flowing illegal "ish" get a test pipe to repalce the cat. Anything else wil increase tubulence in your exhaust.

Where could I order a "Test Pipe", I don't have the means to weld one in myself and would like a simple bolt in pipe. I have 96 Accrod and the heat shield is already gone off the cat and it will be time to replace it very soon. So if anyone has a link to order a test pipe please let me know.

Thanks for you help!
