7th gen help

I'm planning on putting a turbo kit on my D17A1, the only problem is that doing that will eliminate my converter. Is there a way around this? I live in a state where emissions are tested every two years.

RE: 7th gen help

No it does not, the cat converter is in a different location on the LX & EX models, you can however get EX header and exhaust, that will fit properly.

So if i get a header, cat, and cat back exhaust for a 05 civic ex it will bolt up to my 05 lx and line up in my current stock exhaust location?

yeah, these engines need all the help they can get. I don't know what else to do with them after mini-me, turbo, cam gear, cam shaft, i/h/e, and ems with tune.
