exhausts
I am trying to build my own exhaust for my 96 accord instead of buying a premade one. I was thinking about buying some stainless steel piping and using a pipe bender to bend it into shape then buying a muffler and I'm not sure if I would need a new cat. converter. I'm thinking this might be a bit difficult so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions...

Re: exhausts
you probably will need a new cat conveter to handle the added hp. the hp isnt much that is added but if you want it to sound better i would get a new one.

Re: exhausts
for fun of course! I just got into "playing" with my car and I figured why not have some fun. I mean if it doesn't as well as a bought one, oh well, but I'll also learn stuff doing it

Re: exhausts
That's cool. Um, you wont gain too much hp, but it depends how much of the exhaust you plan to replace. If you are going with a homemade cat-back system, then you really don't need to replace the cat. But personally if you are expanding the diameter of your exhaust pipes then I'd get 4-2-1 header and a hi-flow cat, and then build the rest.

thanks, over time my idea has gotten a little shot down so I think I'm just going to get a high flow cat and maybe a muffler or somthing. I've looked around and from what I have found I think it would be a little too difficult to build it. Thanks for the advice though!
