Yeah its just a hollow pipe that takes the place of your Cat Converter. Usually for Racing or Off-Road stuff.

If you have a REX or a Hatch I would not recommend replacing your cat with a straight pipe... It actually does not add performance. The CATs in the 88-91 civics/crx's were designed to add the proper back pressure from the exhaust. As you can imagine without the back pressure your exhaust exportation performance will dramatically decrease, though your exhaust tone will be much deeper.
