lowlife9

LX then yes cat is on the header so other then a resonator i have no idea what your talking about.

You only have 3 pieces to the exhaust:

1. the manifold/cat
2. down-pipe
3. muffler

The down-pipe is just a "straight" pipe to the muffler.

EDIT: These will tell you exactly what you should have.

Everything downstream from there: http://www.hondapartscheap.com/south...t=0&quantity=0

looks like an exhaust resonator to me (changes the sounds)

Crescent

:O could i straight pipe that w/o any bad aftermath? :P

cause i really dont wana get rid of my cat :O just makin sure :P

no cat = no back pressure...and that doesnt sound right XD

The only thing there would be a resonator, like stated above. It performs the same action as the muffler- to muffle the exhaust noise. Go ahead and straight pipe it. My EX has the manifold, cat, straight pipe, muffler (aftermarket) and it's hella loud. It gets annoying after a couple of hours but, I don't even notice it driving around town.

Yeah, straight cat get annoying imo :| but the resonator is fine :O
