If you just ask for the replacement cat for your car they'll hook you up w/ the correct cat. It runs $99, I'm running it w/ my TES headers and Hooker cat-back. It is virtually identical to the stock cat in the way you'll set it up.
Apparently there is also a cheaper 3"er, but I'm not sure if it has the bolt on I-pipe setup just like the stock cat or if it's slip fit on that side as well and you have to do some slight custom stuff there. I also don't know if you can reuse the stock cats hanger w/ the cheaper universal cat. Perhaps vortec305 can fill in the blanks here...

One more quick question: If I buy the 3 inch will it bolt up like the stock converter(does the 3 inch have the flange on the one end so you can bolt it up to the cat hanger under the car????....and is the 3incher the same length as stock???or will I have to weld extensions for it to fit???)..I want a direct fit so it will bolt up to the Edelbrock headers and the flowmaster cat back exhaust

Also should I get it with or without air tube??? .I have the smog stuff removed. When I take emmissions test will it pass without the air tube and smog pump???
