I wanna know, is it actually illegal to remove the CAT?? Is there any sensors/actuators (i dunno how to name them) situated at the CAT?? And how does it affect ur FC? I need ur advice on tat notworthy.gif
*
In Malaysia it's okay to remove it...for my car dunhave any mechanical stuff...just the sensors. FC seems to be like normal...didn't test it out yet. But I think the FC will be abit better coz I dun need to press the throttle a lot to move coz now the throttle feels lighter thumbup.gif

At this moment, in Malaysia, it is not illegal to remove the CAT.

As for sensors in the CAT, it all depends on the make of the car. Some only has 1 sensor before the cat, hence removing the cat does not screw up the sensor. Some has a second sensor in the cat or after the cat, which may trigger the check engine light after the cat has been removed.
*
Yeah...I had to modify mine to fit. The sensor is attached to the CAT somemore sweat.gif

thom_chai, for ur 1.3 wira, there's only one sensor which is before the cat, so i dont think it'll screw up the sensor.egiewan's driving a civic meh,different from our proton. tongue.gif but u must know that removing the cat will increase the noise a bit..im still modifying my setup to reduce the noise sweat.gif

My system is pretty much stock. I removed the CAT only. From my ears...it sounds pretty much like stock but when I rev abit high...the sound is more garang drool.gif drool.gif thumbup.gif

Say, for my case where D16 engine mods not that popular in JP/MY, what kind of extractor should i look for and where?
I've been using 2" piping for years and since 'ade rezeki' recently, i think its time for me to change the extractor.

*im using 1.6L SOHC D16(me516) efi in a civic eg, manual.
**the only headers i can find are by US tuners (DC, megan, etc etc)

***oh, i have PM'd kweng for his oppinions
*
Bro ijam! Remember me? Long time no see. Why wanna change your extractor? Bocor edy ka? Use stock extractor can already...just redo your exhaust system after the extractor. Need more info, call me la. Belanja minum ke tongue.gif

Just that i have been too busy since the last time we met, and I got posted overseas for a while.
Thats why menghilang kejap.
Anyway, theres nothing badly wrong with the extractor, but last 2years it did leak, and dah tampal.
considering its already entering its 13th year, maybe mau kasi improvements over stock.
I already did my 2" piping, 1 ketul bullet and now w/ imitation twinloop.

BOT maybe? but for now i wont be going B-series route unless my engine died miserable death
(halfcut price already reach ridiculous pricepoint for olde engine)
*do we actually have DC,skunk2 stuffs here?
*
Oic...wahh...got bring back chocolates for me or not? LOL! DC kena order bro. Skunk2 got...N1, JC, Pentagon to name a few. Oh in that case, can change your manifold edy lor...or better still, B18CR thumbup.gif laugh.gif Any problems with your current exhaust setup? Top speed, pickup, FC all ok?

I came back late last yr.. currency exchange was bad, bawak body je balik.

Skunk2... N1.... hmmm....  need to do more header research..
B18Cr sounds nice... but engine swap+overhaul cost too much these days. While i do like to feel the power of vtec, but a slight improvements on my daily ride would be sufficient. I'll save the monies for a new better car.

No major issues with the system. For my current setup, Topspeed UP and pickup DOWN abit after i change from noisy straight flow Tanabe to replica twinloop. FC wise, rm10 only go 60-75km full city driving on both muffler =___= w/ once a while spirited driving.

Slowly laa...B18CR is best. Yours 4 door maaa body berat tongue.gif What's your top speed now? Tell you what, maintain your setup but replace your bullet with 2 oval mid box with the same inlet/outlet size(Everco/Matola brand). You will feel some improvement wink.gif Bro, dun simply buy those fancy2 aftermarket manifolds...the collector too big. You will sacrifice your torque. A friend of mine using B16A tried J's Racing manifold...dyno his torque was barely 14kg. Changed back to stock manifold, went up to 16kg shocking.gif He said with the stock manifold, easier to reach top speed icon_rolleyes.gif
