Not to harp.... but more to inform...
EVERY car after 71 or 72 has a cat... ANY car without a cat will produce MUCH more polution than ANY car without a cat...
Your civic probobly puts out more harmful gases then a cat'd v8...
Not positive but pretty damn sure...
the cat converts certain MUCH more harmful gases into less harmful ones... so every car with a cat isn't putting out hardly any if any of those gases (specifics escape me at the moment)... where as ANY car without a cat is POURING them out...
I see where you're coming from with the cost factor and what not but a hiflo cat isn't much if any more than a test pipe... and also isn't much behind it in performance... the universal ones are 50 bucks and direct fits are like 100 or so....
Not preaching... do what you want. Just figured I'd put it out there.
