H22 Prelude Cat..?

[ZeRoCooLCB7R]

I have an OBD1 H22 swap and i was wondering if the OEM vtec prelude cat will fit.I am runing the oem accord cat right now.Is the size and bolt pattern the same?Not sure if it will make the smog results better but just wanted to try.Thanks

I believe that one is shorter than the other.

If one is shorter than how come i have a perfect fit with the H down pipe, accord cat , and accord cat back pipes?Guess I gotta do some stretchin on my wallet then. Oh well hope i get good numbers with an H cat.

because you drive an accord

Yeah I know its bcuz i drive an accord.haha By the way which cat is longer?

[ZeRoCooLCB7R]

Any aftermarket cat recomended..anybody...? Which should i buy to put on my H22 for ex: pacesetter, catco, magnaflow? Are these brands better than OEM?Im thinkin of goin for the pacesetter cat.

I used a high flow cat for m cousins swap with jdm h22 in a prelude and passed smog legally. including other tune ups too though. I'm not sure which cat is longer though. If it is, you will still be able to install it. not a problem. Like I said, the pacesetter is a bolt on. no welding required.

im not sure which is shorter, but it doesnt matter if you just buy one made to fit an accord :P

i thought you'd have problems with a JDM h22 header?

only with a jdm oem downpipe.. any other usdm or aftermarket one bolts right up to the accord cat

i think the prelude one would be shorter bc the prelude is a shorter car. but i dunno never seen a 92-96 prelude cat nor compared the length to a accord cat

[jhondayaaj]

Like I said, I believe the lengths are different but not drastically. It will still work, and I think pacesetter has the same part # for preludes and accords.
