Yeah the cat is still on the car, just moved. I know it is illegal to "remove or relocate" the cat, but I think its a stupid rule. We're being responisble and leaving the cat on, and it should fire the same as all the other designs of civics, crx's and acura els that have a d series witht the cat under the car. So why pick on the horsepower challeneged?? Any thoughts guys?

yeah probably, I think they'd be okay with that. They'd still probably want it back to stock though. Unless the person was a honda nut, they probably wouldnt know it was changed. your probably safe if its there. Logic sais that it should still do well in emmissions testing.

WHo cares.. get the header. I have my Cat relocated with my swap and when i got my E-test done I wasn't questioned. If you are questioned, just take it to another shop. Heck I could have even brought a different civic in. He didn't even check the VIN # ... just asked to see it on my registration. So technically I could have shown him my registration and brought another black 96-00 Sedan in for the test.

as long as it's in the same place as the VTEC models I don't see a problem. the reason they dont' want you to relocate it is cuz the cat requires heat to work, and the farther down it is, the longer it takes for it to heat up. but since the VTEC models have it under the car, I think you can relocate it there if you want.
as long as you pass emissions, and you have a cat present.... I don't think anyone can hassle you.
