The LED indicators in the front quarters are a nice touch.

Sure thing XJCasper,

Here are the three kits that they offer (I'm not sure about the part numbers, but if you tell the rep at VersusMotorSport the kit name, they should tell you if they have the whole set.

anytime man. I've looked through these before I made my decision...

So I'm thinking about a cat-delete mod here (possibly tomorrow)... Has anyone done that? Any HP gain?

[Daox]

I wouldn't bother. A while back I think Import Tuner magazine did the same on a civic or integra. It actually lost a couple HP without the cat. In any case they really aren't restrictive like they were back when they were first put on cars, and IMO there is no reason not to run one.

ok, so I found that article... they say that they get more hp gain from removing it entirely, they're just saying that it's not worth the ticket... But I wonder how much that "high end metallic core cat" would cost...

i had 3-4 high flow cats sitting here, most of them are not california emission legal under the new law. i think i paid @ $70 each, and have put them into a few custom exhaust set ups over the last few weeks.

edit: on top of that the "universal" design of them will not fit in the stock location. in fact they would not fit until the midpipe. you might be able to adapt a factory cat form a 2000's mustang they run something like 4 or 6 smaller cats on the H pipe. you could take one of those and put it in, But for the work and costs, it wouldnt be a huge gain either.

if you are really trying to stay cheap, buy a $20 die grinder (really small one) and a bunch of grinding stones and port out your stock exhaust manifold. Gasket match it, opens up the bends and get rid of any factory flashing. Would be better flow and more likely to get you some hp on the cheap.

Is there a DIY on that somewhere? What are the chances of me messing it up?.
