Virtually same car runs 1.1 seconds faster than me. Cat questions

My friends car: 90 integra LS with AEM intake, short shifter, generic muffler off ebay, no catalytic convertor, stock tires on stock 14" hubs

My car: 91 integra GS with generic intake, generic muffler off ebay, high performance tires on 15" gsr rims

He runs a 15.4, I run a 16.5. wtf? I know that he took off his cat and i still have mine, but would it really make more than a second of difference?

Another question, if i took off my cat, what would go in its place, some piping ? Also, if I took off my cat, would that lower my back pressure even more and reduce my torque. Also, does getting headers reduce back pressure and reduce torque also?

Is this a new car for you, has he been driving his for a long time? How good of a driver are you vs. him? Practice and experience has alot to do with what a driver can get out of their car. I'm not the best with my car, but I'm working on it. If worse comes to worse, use the fact that you know he's going a second faster with a similar setup to entice you to do point you towards your goals...

Here's some question for ya...What are both of your MPHs at the quarter-mile? What are both 60'?
