Need help with a '97
I just bought a '97 EX coupe3 days agoand need some help/recommendations....
1) The guy who had it before me removed that catalytic converter, I've already gotten warned by local law enforcement about noise, so I was wondering rather to get a stock cat or find a high flow cat. Didn't know what the price comparison to hp gain/drop would be if any.
2) It is incredibly slow..my buddy's stock base model focus blows it away. So I'm thinking an ECU will be needed. I have an automatic right now, but was thinking about doing a trans. swap for manual (was recommended to get an Integra LS) so I need to get one that will help both the auto. and the manual. A turbo will also be purchased after the trans. swap so it needs to be compatible with that as well.
Sorry about the newb questions and I thank you all in advance for your time.

RE: Need help with a '97
This may not be the right spot, but goes along with my first post....
I've read that a lot of ebay cats are nothing more than just a hollow tube, so I was wondering if this would make any quieter or more legal: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBX-H...8153QQtcZphoto
