Yeah, I suppose you could. I would say goodbye to ANY bottom end power as well being extremely loud. I played around with mine at one point with "open-header"....WOW. I think you'll last an hour driving like that.

Rep Power: 257 When I put my header and downpipe on, I took it for a spin without the rest of the exhaust and it was EXTREMELY loud. It was kinda funny but I didn't even want to hit the gas when I was going through my neiborhood.

Rep Power: 0 Tanabe, GReddy, and A'pexi are cat-back exhaust, meaning they do not replace the catalytic converter on the car.....HKS is 227 because it is merely an axel-back exhaust, meaning only the muffler and about 2ft. of piping (bends over rear sway and attaches). If you are wanting a little more performance and don't mind removing the cat.....buy a hi-flow cat or I believe Megan Racing has a test pipe. Check into it.

Rep Power: 296 ^ He said he has the High Flow Cat already, so my suggestion would be to go with GReddy, A'pexi, or Tanabe cat back, you don't wanna run a race header, high flow cat, then use your stock piping then go to a larger piping from axle back. It doesn't make sense to do that. Open that thing up with the cat back. Everything should bolt right up. Or take it to a muffler shop and have it all welded together.

Rep Power: 0 Those are resonators which help muffle the sound of the car....most cat-back exhausts have at least one, some have a pre-silencer which is mainly a second resonator closer to the header....
