Hhhhmmm, I have to say it ..... Has anyone figured out yet how cats work ?!?! ...... via heat, reaction and timing ...... high flow does not always make it right ....
The ECU is looking for a certain amount of change/delta between the two points. The only way to achieve that is to heat the catalyst to a certain temperature and then to basically run the exhaust for a certain amount of time through it (hence the lengths which equals timing) to make the reaction work. Now a days any catalyst flows well and the amount of exhaust pushed by the engine is not enough to warrant a larger catalyst. We use catalysts by the ton at work up to sizes that handle up to 35 liters of gas at once .....
Now dual cats are slick if the sensors are located at the furthermost ends.
... lets see if anyone gets the hint and alters their designs slightly ....

Ive figured it out using a highflow cat with out tricking anything.
Im guessing to maybe bend the connection end in a way that is restricted by the diameter of the piping? other than that just my guess, Im no genius like hector =[
Never said anything about "tricking" anything .....
I know you did not, was just implying that i managed to address it with out having to put a fouler or wire an o2 sim or to drill a small hole in teh actual 02 sensor (i do it for local peeps).
What exactly is this part for........NO I dont mean the downpipe, but the flange or spreader?
You have to form a staight piece of pipe to a flare thats 40degrees just like the oem sestup. The common setup is 45 degrees here in the states so if i was to flare the DP to a 45, it will not seal to good on teh donut gasket.

lets see what i can bang out for you guys. I wish i had some one local who could give me quick feedbackon this thing or better yet let me install it on their car.
Ive done the NY/FL drive billions of times, most with out stopping besides to refuel the ride and defuel myself. So if you can make it down next week on a weekday then bring it.

33312 is the zip if you want to look for a hotel.
Make that two of us from NC that would be interested... Tell us when.

I understand.... Honda's are GREAT cars. They just don't have the personality that the mini does nor the comaderie among fellow owners. Can you imagine a honda civic driver waving at another?
