Catco Hi-Flow from summitracing.com or discountconverters.com (80-90) OR a Dynomax superconverter from jegs.com (100-120).
I personally am going to buy a hi flow catco converter from discountconverters.com because i hear that they are good and they are alittle cheaper than the dynomax ones.

Catco has a universal 3" in/out w/air for $50 from summit. Its about 8" shorter than stock. I bought that, cut off the flange, and cut off the flange on my Force 2 system. The 3" i-pipe fit directly into the 3" ID cat, then I reduced it to 2.25 and ran that to the y-pipe.

Could I have cut out those screens that came with the cat to improve air flow? I tohught about it but just decided to let bygones be bygones.
