Good ol' JC Whitney...
I thought I'd try their 3" high-flow cat, since I was ordering some other things I couldn't find anywhere else, and their price didn't seem too bad (w/discounts).
It arrived yesterday, and to my surprise, it was a Catco brand. I expected some off-the-wall name I'd never heard of before.
Others have quoted lower prices for a 3" Catco in other posts, but I wonder if their memories were a bit selective. Never buy anything from JC Whitney without one of their discounts, but figuring in shipping (pro-rated for the other things I got), and I paid right at $100 to have it delivered to my door.
Flame JCW all you want, but once in awhile this blind squirrel does find an acorn...

Really? No such thing is listed by Summit on-line (catalog says "from $xx", or something like that), and the 2-1/2" they do list is over $60 (plus handling fees).
