Awesome, keep us informed, I will be going through this mess once my car is fixed.

At least its good to know that someone is getting their pockets properly lined by DEC

You can find this same CAT on ebay for $140.

Glad you found one that works! How did you conclude that's the only legal cat? What about the DEC direct fit and other pc-1's with the same dimensions?

so, i basically went to a shop i *trust*, and they did the homework for me.

by "homework", i was talking to my honda mechanic aki about my build, and i mentioned this situation. natalie (the owner's wife/office manager) asked the year/make and in about 30 seconds she tells me the following:

"36106. that's the only carb legal cat for your car. it's 2,5 inches."

they do a LOT of custom/crazy **** there. one of their builds was a street legal, full-size car "tricycle" with a turbocharged h22 motor. i believe every word they say when it comes to the letter of the law.

if anyone in the bay area needs a mechanic, take your car there. they know their ****.

anyways, i went to summit, entered in the carb number, and immediately pulled up the cat she told me to buy.

so i bought it! i also have a stock new FPR coming in from paragon. once i get the parts, i'll post pics of the build and how my smog process goes.

i know. sometimes i'm down with paying a bit more to a cool company just to know i'll get it in a reasonable amount of time.

that being said, i didn't even remember to check ebay. that's a great price!
