Type R Exhaust Question

Hey Guys

I'm planning on swapping a type r into my civic 2000 si.
The engine came with the 2.5" 4-1 header. My question is how do I make the connection to the cat. Are there any aftermarket cats available for this swap. If so where can I buy one.
Are there any other options available to me?

Help!

PowerCore line of direct-fit catalytic converters from Landspeed Racing....

Call them and explain your problem they should have something for your application...

Sorry 94EG6HB.. Not to diss you, but those Powercore "CAT" are pita... They're just basically resonators. They're horrible.. constantly backfiring due to the lack of back pressure.. Annoying as hell!!! Oh... and they do NOTHIING for emissions.

Bluemeanie.. if anything... get a real cat... If you need bring it by and I'll take a look at it and I'll find something for you.
