Exhaust System

I am installing an Apexi WS2 on my 92 accord, which for the most part is stock. I want to get a new header and a hi-flow cat. I was leaning towards Megan header and cat. I am just wondering if that is a good set up, or if there is anything else that would be beter.

[92accordcb7ex]

i love my megan header its personaly one of my favorite companies to go with. i am thinking of getting a cat from them as well.

[capo_status]

yeah, I was also thinking about going with a magnaflow cat instead. I'm not sure what would be better.

[92accordcb7ex]

im not sure but both would be good im sure you might not even really see/feel any difference at all its a cat.

[capo_status]

but, replacing the stock cat would make a difference, right?

[NinJa_FLiP]

no.. the only difference itll make is with smog if yer stock cat was already bad... the magnaflow/catco cat that most people use isnt really a "hi-flow" cat.. its a higher flowing cat than stock, but not by much.. only way ull feel and hear a difference is by putting in a straight pipe (or test pipe as some like to call it).. and i had a megan header on my accord until i replaced it with a no name brand due to a hole in the pipe.. welds look the same, only difference i see is that the inside of the pipes line up better with the flange on the megan.. but both seem to perform the same on the butt dyno

i'm using a Megan header with a catco oe replacement cat along with the WS2. probably the best 400 bucks i've ever spent.

[92accordcb7ex]

glad to hear im not the only one that likes megan stuff and yeah there wont be a diference in performance with a new cat its for smog and emissions thats it and a little back pressure which is a good thing.

[Leung]

oh i put on that new cat because i couldn't get the factory one off of the rusted old pipes, so i just said screw it and replaced everything.

[92accordcb7ex]

yeah they are a bitch to take off which is why i still have my stock cat on there still even though its falling apart.

[NinJa_FLiP]

lol.. shouldve use pb blaster.. that stuff works wonders.. but megan seems like a good company but i just didnt wanna spend another 100 for my header to have the megan stamp on it... ive used the magnaflow/catco universal 2.5" cat and it seems to work well.. passed smog with it so i cant complain..

[92accordcb7ex]

lol somehow i passed emissions/smog with the cat i have or well the cat i dont have haha.

so basically, I should go for the megan header, and just leave the cat alone then? Another question. Does the megan header come with the downpipe? or would I have to get that seperate? And would the megan cat make a difference compared to the stock cat?

I enjoy wrapping my headers. In theory, the cat being hotter should help with emissions plus a cooler engine bay. I heat my nuts with a torch and cool the header with canned air upside down to help w/ PBlaster. I just hate the smell of it.

its up to you if you want to go with the megan header and yes it comes with the down pipe. i got mine for about 180. and i dont think itll make a big difference itll be a little more air flow but not much at all.
