I'm looking for a picture of the underbody of our car. Where can I get it? I need to see/know if the downpipe that comes with the Kamikaze header replaces the CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. If it does will the Kamikaze header fit without the downpipe?

 

The downpipe doesn't replace the cat..

 

the Kamikaze setup does replace the first cat, but not the second one.

its a good question though.

 

It will not fit without the downpipe.

 

Don't ALL headers replace the first cat?

 

Ok Thanks

 

Yes, the header replaces the warm-up cat that's in the stock manifold. No, the header does not replace the 2nd cat which is under the car. A header without a downpipe is basically an open exhaust. I dont' know why you'd ever want to do that. Between the smell and the noise...

 

its not that bad with the smell

 

I don't. I wanted to make sure the second cat was not replaced. Still learning here . Because the header replaces the first cat that is why a mil eliminator is needed? As long as I have the mil eliminator I should have NO problems with the inspection (when the time comes) right?

 

I have a kamikaze header on my car with downpipe to a magan racing cat-back exhaust. And yes it does replace on of the CATS. However, according to Midas (where the installation was done) in Canada. The say the car might even pass our immition standards with no catatalytic converters. However I am not sure what kind of inspection standars you have in the U.S.
