    Default straight piped hks catback exhuast

    Ok so I'm thinking about trading my car for a prelude and he told me it has a hks exhuast on it but straight piped. He also told me it has a catalyct converter.
    Does that even makes sense?
    Someone please help me out

    straight-pipe = NO muffler and NO catalytic converter... lol simple.

    EDIT: Its called "straight pipe" for a reason, because there is nothing but Straight PIPE from the engine out to the back or side of the car, wherever it'll exit.

    don't be a girl and get a lil dirty before you purchase a vehicle. Lay on the ground behind the car and look at the exhaust. And while your at it, call a mechanic, or someone that is more mechanically inclined than you to look at the car.
