Does my 1990 civic dx need a cat ? Cheers

Nope.

Cats came in at K /92.

And surely you've noticed the lack of cat under the car?

Ahaha oops no av not been under my car yet. So can I just get a stainless piece of tube shaped and welded from the down pipe aslong as it meets noise regulations ? Cheer for the help mate

Huh?
Your car has no cat.

If that's what you're getting at?

yes there is a limit, its around 95-100dB IIRC, I think its the same as nightclubs randomly, which is 96dB, or use to be anyway.
