I'd be willing to also dyno my accord with the main cat in and then with a cat eliminator/test pipe to prove flow makes it go.

hasn't the whole gutted precats make top end gains been proven time and time again? i thought it was a dyno proven fact back in 98-99 already?

if the dyno isn't good enough shall we ask the magic 8ball?????

If we wanted to go all out would could have individual pipes all the way out. Since having a collector adds a point of restriction. I am not sure how you would get 6 individual mufflers, but maybe we could figure something out.

That is why headers are made the way they are with individual pipes for some lenght. That way the exhaust gas cools and condenses a little before it is forced into the same tube as the other cylinders. Headers that are not equal length pipes to the collector are better then the stock manifolds, but can cause the exhaust pulses to hit the collector at the same time. This causes restriction as well.

Just thought I would interject some ideas into this fun thread.
