hey i just want to know if the cat does anything in terms of performance and the sound of the exhaust? Also should i be looking for an cat back exhaust or one without it? or it doesnt matter?
i currently own a 2002 type r
is the stock exhaust a cat back exhaust? :?

 

Yes...it restricts the exhaust a lot. The ITR comes with a pretty good exhaust stock though compared to the GSR or LS. If you were to remove the cat and run a test pipe you would notice a difference.....

 

ohh i see
if i were to get a non cat back exhaust, would i still be able to add a cat convertor?

 

I think I'm lost....you want to remove your cat and just buy any axle back?

 

"i currently own a 2002 type r "

Really, where do you live?

 

i was thinking the exact same thing

 

Me too!

 

sorry im a newbie when it comes to cars ops:

atm im thinking of getting the trust pe2 exhaust cause the shop recommended me that. But i think its a non cat back exhaust so i just wanted to know if its better to have a cat back exhaust or a non cat back exhaust?

i live in australia

 

Cat back means From the back of the Cat to the back of the car. Not Cat included.

a non cat back is an axel back. A Catback does not have naything to do with the cat except where it attaches.

 

ohh i see ops:

so that means if i get a non cat back exhaust it will just be connected to the stock cat?
