incorrect lol.

his pos civic will still be shit slow, dont bother wasting your money on anything pass the muffler.

just get a muffler if u want to sound like a ricer, but other than that, dont even bother with catback or header. i woludnt even bother putting on a CAI. Cause in the end, your car will still be shit slow.

i concur with the above statment

z3lda can go EAD

flop it out

bugger the high flow cat, civic's dont have enough flow to need one. theres an optimal piping diameter for the best power as well, so its probably not a good idea to go past 2.5inch diameter unless you want to lose power.

@ suspension comment - it may not have much power, but it weighs a tad bit less than an integra, and match that with suspension and it gets a little fun in the hills. my ED6 only has a little more power than factory, and the weight difference is really noticeable in the hills when i chase down v8s.

I think it will be beneficial to remove the old clogged up stock cat and put a Hiflow cat in.
The stock cat is a big restrictor.Just make sure you choose the right diameter piping for your application.

i used to think this was true until i got mine changed and saw the factory cat... its a metal catalyst with decent cell spacing/sizing.

the only way i see it as shit is if the catalyst doesn't heat up properly... it did look a tad thicker than the aftermarket one i got...

aye bro, do they make them for my car?

It may really depend on how old and how many Km's it's done.Mine's 11yrs and 86,000km's old.I'm gonna put a Magnaflow Hi-flow cat,X-Force headers and remove the resonator in a couple of weeks.
I'm a bit worried that it might be annoyingly loud without the resonator though but if it is I'll just get it put back in :)
