now that testpipe.com doesnt sale them for the preludes anymore where can i order one at??

Absolut · 03-14-2002, 09:10 PM

Yes they do... I almost bought one from them.

I ended up having the guy make me a custom cat using the catalyst for a 5.7l motor and fitting prelude flanges on it.

Do you need a test pipe or a catalytic converter?

Cause I know a web site the sells a catalytic converter for $160

testpipes dont mess up anything do they ? i know they probably wont pass inspection here though??

Absolut · 03-15-2002, 04:38 PM

A testpipe for an ODB1 car wont effect the engine at all, there is no O2 sensor after the cat, the ECU doesnt care or even know about it for that matter.

You will NOT pass smog in ANY state. You will fail the visual inspection and most likely the sniffer test depending on the state regulations.

they made u a test pipe for $100?

damn.... they used to sell them for $35 on the site when they had them

blkvteclude · 03-15-2002, 08:45 PM

i got a friend that can legally inspect my car he said he would pass it for me.. i think he means he paid 100$ for the actual cat which is good

Frost_White94Si · 03-17-2002, 10:35 AM

the testpipe.com website is messed up.... call the phone number and they should be able to hook you up...

4bidden · 03-17-2002, 05:25 PM

blkvteclude · 03-17-2002, 06:09 PM

yeah i emailed them the other day havent heard back from them yet.. also i called and got some lady on the line that had no clue what i was talking about when i asked her if i could order one for a 93 honda prelude si vtec

Testpipe is a

I put one on my ford probe Se along with 2.25 catback and intake and it did absolulty nothing but made my exhuast sound like complete ****! I had also gutted my cat before that and it felt like i lost performance! Leave your cat on bro, some backpressure is good, and you won't have the raspiest sound when you acclerate or a loud deep drone when cruising at 55 mph

blkvteclude · 03-17-2002, 08:29 PM

but i have to get a testpipe because the si cat wont fit on a vtec motor will it, i didnt think so

an a testpipe is cheeap

Fast&furiuslude · 03-17-2002, 09:40 PM

I think it will fit, the motor has nothin to do with the cat. Im pretty sure all the 4th gen cat bolts are the same pattern, someone correct me if im wrong,but i wouldnt see why it would be different.

4bidden · 03-18-2002, 04:43 AM

no...the vtec flange on the cat is slightly larger and the holes dont line up correct. if you give me the extra money for a race cat, ill buy one then

AccordSleeper · 03-18-2002, 02:01 PM

I would just buy a universal one made by carsound and have flanges welded on it. This places has them for a good price www.exhaustproslinc.com

blkvteclude · 03-18-2002, 03:55 PM

whats the difference between the cats like it says with air / without air

but it is still expensive though..

AccordSleeper · 03-19-2002, 10:56 AM

The air thing is not used on our cars. The model I'm getting is the 2.25 inch roundbody carsound one. It's about $87 shipped, not bad considering it's high flow and keeps the car legal. Then install is about $50.
