You guys really are young, aren't you? Try Google.

 

I really loved that one. They have no idea what you were saying.

And I was further amused by his defensiveness; note that he didn't deny it, just told you not to get personal.

 

I wasn't trying to misconstrue anything. Anyone that has been following this thread has read your comment. I was just quoting the part that made me laugh the most. If I quoted the entire thing, people might not know what part I was laughing at. Disrespect the makers? Are you joking? lol

My turbo is going on next month, and I'll be running a 3" straight through exhaust. I used to have a 70mm single headerback with no cat, and I never once felt bad about it. The exhaust gases are actually pleasant to me.

If you or anybody ever makes a comment in person about me running open exhaust, I'd just laugh at them and point out something that I don't like about them or their car.

As a matter of fact - from now on I'm going to VTEC my car one extra time every day so that I can squeeze out those little extra pollutants JUST FOR YOU You hear that? I got some exhaust with your name on it buddy!

 

I gotta LOL at mike and spider tag teaming this one though with their primary assault being personal assault. Enough of me posting here, seems its getting way too bitchy for me to enjoy.

 

they are quite "smug"....

 

Before I install a hi flow cat to my exhaust system in connection with installing a newly built racing engine, what is the consensus, if any, as to the effectiveness of these hi flow units. Prior to this evening, I merely assumed that hi flow cats were just as effective as stock cats.

If anyone has substantial evidence that hi flow cats comply with federal guidelines or in the alternative that they are significantly less effective than stock cats or continues to limit the ability to maximize power as does the standard cat, I would certainly appreciate receiving any information readily available from you. Although I am happy to submit this inquiry as a new topic under a new thread, I think researching this matter myself is preferred to ensure that the cat vs. non cat discussions remain in this thread. I am only trying to save a little time.

Finally, it is clear that one thing has been proven so far. Everyone driving an S speeds from time to time which merely indicates that we all enjoy playing the odds of driving fast vs. a personal one on one with a law enforcement officer. Such is life.

Peace and stay healty everyone.

 

I don't know, sorry. The manufacturer should be able to help you with this question, though.

 

Changing your OEM cat to an aftermarket one is illegal as well, regardless of how well it works (or doesn't). Fortunately, Honda's cat already flows pretty well.

 

California basic speed law: 22350. No person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property.


It doesn't say that it is illegal to drive over the posted "speed limit". The posted "speed limits" are suggestions about the safe speed during normal driving hours. When its during heavy traffic, the safe speed is lowered. When its 3AM on a 4-lane road and you're going over the posted "speed limit" by 10, you're still obeying the law ... you might get a ticket but it's also very easy to get out of it in court, as you have broken no law.

 

...that'll hold up court? Somehow, I doubt it.
