Header issues on a 93....

[Addict]

This is the wierdest damn thing.

My cousin has a 93 Civic VX (Hatch). I ordered a header for it since he cracked his. I ordered a Chikara 2 piece. Just needed something cheap to get by. ANyhow.

We take it a shop to get installed. The shop says they can't do it becuase it eliminates the cat. I was like wtf? How? So they put it on a lift and sure enough it looks like it would. The cat is in between the primaries and the downpipe. Maybe this is normal, but its the first time I've seen it(I know 96-00 aren't like this). So my question is what the heck is going on? The header doesn't say it replaces the cat. Which is also VERY illegal.

Here's the header I ordered...
