So I trimmed a portion of that....

Only 1 nonfouler would fit due to clearance. Even if you trim the heatshield away, there's still a deadend behind it.


...but I took it around for about 30miles with no CEL....
So in the Prelude's case, having only one of two nonfoulers can still avoid throwing a CELL on any type of cat. What about a test pipe if clearance is still an issue?

BTW Do you have a 5TH GEN and can you take pictures of this Homebrew? I'd like to see this "deadend".


EDIT.

Oh nooo...
