Lightbulb Exhaust question

Right know i have a lx with cat back exhaust, and sri.

Just wondering would it be a good idea to buy an after market ex header and exhaust sytem to get rid of the cat that sits inside my damn exhaust manifold?

The only bad(hard) thing will be to relocate the o2 sensor all the way back to where the cat would be on an ex exhaust sytem. You guys think this is worth it?
Thanks

i really dont think its worth it, its illegal to taper with the cats in cali, but if u do might as well go with the kamkazie header for the lx.

APRboy has that done except he went with a highflow cat. HP header, custom downpipe, into a highflow cat (where the EX cat would sit) and custom catback.

Get the aftermarket header and bolt it to your existing exhaust, when you need to get emissions done, bolt your stock pipe on pass the test and then take it off again....it doesn't take very long to swap out.
