Okay I think I've gotten myself into deep water this time...

I'm driving a 98 civic DX hatch. I currently have a Megan header with Magnaflow catback exhaust.... hence no cat converter.... right? Basically what I want is to still have my catalytic converter (save the earth, please). Should I ditch the header and go back to the stock header? I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks.

Also, my Magnaflow "street" series is freakin loud... at least it is to me. Could this be because I'm lacking the catalytic converter?

Any advice you have will be appreciated.
Thanks a bunch!

 

Carsound high-flow universal cat.

You'll probably have to cut up your exhaust.


The cat will quiet down the car but not by much.
