Ka24de Catback and Test pipe questions.

[Mr240dude]

This is a newbie question. I'm going to buy a 3 inch catback soon. I also have a 3 inch test pipe that I'm getting, would they both bolt right to eachother without any problems being that I would delete the converter? Test pipe = 3inches Catback = 3 inches. Also is a catback "worth" it for a ka24de with intake? (I plan on adding headers soon too) Incase some of yall say well go turbo or swap, that's not an option I want to keep things simple. Want to try and make at least 170hp when it's all said and done.

you wont get 170hp, not gona happen with intake and header/ exhaust. the header will only make it louder and annoying after 3k rpms. the exhaust and test pipe should bolt together, i have not seen a 3 inch header though, so you will have a slight exhaust leak possibly from the header to the test pipe. over-all, header is a waste. you will probably not notice any difference with those parts.
