Better keep your cat and be prepared to put it on for e-check time. The first thing they did when I went for my e-check was take a mirror and check for a cat. Im from OH so i dont know if it differs state to state.

What a resonator does, as my dad explained, is the fiberglass helps silence the high frequencies, giving it a lower smoother tone. A straight pipe would give a fartier sound.

And by the way, the guy who said something bout emissions check, i dont think florida checks emissions do they? If so i would keep the cat in the garage so you can swap it when you need, but if you dont, put in that resonator. Ill post a pic of what mine looks like on the car if you'd like.

it will be louder, but not in the ricey civid louder, the deep tones will be more pronounced. The high tones will not be as strong as if you ran a 3" pipe in the place of your cat. But, it wont be much louder. maybe a few dB's. believe me, you wont be disappointed

im not sure, but it fit fine with no mods. So either its 2.25 or 2.5, but either way it worked fine. Ive had no problems with it.

did u notice any power increase with the res. I heard that u can gain a few hp from taking out the cat and putting in a test pipe or w/e but when u go to the e-test u have to put ur cat back on.
