I'm in need of some help deciding on what kind of mid exhaust and mufflers I should put on my 93 lx. Right now I'm thinking about a 2 cat x pipe with 13'' spintech mufflers. Any thoughts on that? I"m looking for performance. Thanks

Do you have to pass emissions? If not, best performance would be an Offroad x or h pipe and the difference between most mufflers is miniscule. Spintechs would be fine.

I'm in california so it needs cats. I currently have on a pro-chamber but I'm tired of getting hassled so I want to put something on that's legal.

well, how often is testing, i need emissions in GA but i just swap out once a year for a week or so, get it tested and throw the O/r one back on. If thats not an option, then any high performance 2 cat system would do.

You will likely not pass emissions in California with just 2 cats. Folks have gotten away with it before but you should be aware that the ptential exists. if you are inspected at a station that takes their visual inspection seriously, your emissions will fail before they ever hook up the sniffer. It's lame, I know. Most after market cats perform better than the stockers anyway in terms of reducing emissions.
