Macfay - did you have any problems with it fitting at all? There was another thread that stated that there was a problem fitting up with the downpipe. Any insight?

I have LX, the only problem I have was the random cat rubbing again the stock front sway bar, I don't think there is any problem with the EX though...cuz I build for EX...but not sure if you have aftermarket front sway bar on the EX though...

I just had my random tech hiflow installed on Sunday. I've got a 2001 EX coupe. Had no problems what so ever. The cat is really loud. Right now I've got a CAI and Headers. I don't think I will be doing exhaust. Way too much noisy for me with the cat installed. But I have noticed considerable mid range gains and the RPMs move a lot quicker.

The only problem I had with my cat is that it was rubbing up against the bottom of my car after it was installed. I took it back and they fixed it up no prob.
