strait pipe again...

Thanks for all the replies. But I cant really afford high flow cats so how about stock cats, strait pipe with y-pipe and 2.5 into 2.0 inch duals, for some cackle?

humm...not sure what you mean by 2.5 into 2 duals.....

Going from 2.5" to 2" exhaust will give you crackle, but thats not a very healthy thing to do to exhaust. You realize if you scraped your OEM cats you could get a minimum of about $70 each where as the hi-flow cats varie $65 - $75 each. Its small change.

do you mean keep stock cats on then have the system stock up to a y pipe instead of a muffler then 2 2" tail pipes?
