yeah they said its like a $2500 fine if I tamper with it, or if the exhaust shop does some work on it. But I might just run the test pipe and call it my high flow cat... but it looks like I can get it done for cheap. Im going to call my hook up guy and see if I can store my car in his shop and just work on it from there. Plus I need to ship out my ecu to get it tuned because no place does ecu flash around here and I can't even tune a little 2 stroke motor . So once that ecu comes back I can drive it back home and fiddle with the tuning specs just to get a feeling for the tuning part. It looks like I can get my project done by the end of may. So get ready for pics, I'll post up some vids to.

One nice thing about going turbo is it really helps in keeping the exhaust quiet since it has to go through the turbine fins to exit. One of the things that will happen when removing the cat is it makes your exhaust exponentially louder (at least it did when I hollowed out mine in my first car a crx si) but turboing makes it quieter so its a win win

thats cool we can do that, like I said ill pay you to do it, that way you can put the money in your car or do whatever. And I downloaded all the ecu flash videos already so i can learn a little bit, and I'll probably have to buy a tactrix cable.
