Default help installing exhaust system...

I have a 1995 Honda Accord and I purchased an N1 Style cat-back exhaust system and I need to get a new Header as well. Whenever I look for headers I always find the 4-2-1 setup but the last connector that goes to the rest of the exhaust has that 2 bolt oval design but the exhaust I have starts with the 3 bolt triangle design, is there a piece that connects the two?

While looking around I noticed some sites sell Headers with a test pipe which starts with a 2 bolt then ends with a 3 bolt so i figure that's the piece I need but I just want to make sure. Any advice?

the cat connects the tho. you can replace the cat with a test pipe if you desire.

On my daily i keep the cat so my white rear bumper isn't black in a day or two

AH... I think I figured it out... the thing is, the way the exhaust is designed, there's 3 pipes, there's the muffler, then it connects to the "s" shaped pipe, then that connects to a straight pipe that has the 3 bolt connector. But the headers end with a 2 bolt connector. So the thing that would connect the two, would be either the Cat. Converter or the Test Pipe... yeah?

Well I'm not installing it today, I'm about to order the Header/Test Pipe, I have the exhaust system chillin' in my garage. The Header/Test Pipe will probably be here next week. I'm in the Holland//Rosemont area.

I would recommend that you keep the Cat on the car, because you are going to have problems when passing inspection if they dont see it there. The Cat is already on your car just reuse it.

the Cat that's on there now won't fit on the new set up. I'll be getting a new Cat. within the next couple weeks so it should be fine.
