If a mobster owned your house I wouldn't reccomend digging any holes in the yard

May want to go ahead and put a flex section somewhere in your exhaust, because the way it looks now, with the cat gone, you will have no flex. The downpipe will break pretty quick.

YO! I'd personally listen to Jeff on this one. If you are going to be a cheap jew on this one... might as well just not put your turbo kit on your car.

Like I said somethings u can go cheap on and somethings u cant... I wouldnt go cheap on this one. Get the flex pipe. I will save you a headache later...

bigwig, nothing to tough out.. it will break, the exhaust needs to be able to flex, I broke my exhaust like 4 times before I put one in, and I even have urathane inserts which hardly allows the engine to move, but I'm sure you have stock mounts.

Bottom line, its gonna break... atleast if you had the stock cat setup there, honda uses a ball socket style flange with spring bolts that releives some tension. But straight pipe? good luck ::)
