Cheap source for Cat-back

I read all over that people can get cat-backs for like 150 and the cheapest I have seen is 250-300. Where are all these cheap systems?

Dynomax has an aluminized steel for a 91 Z w/dual cats for $169 - I dont know which one you would need

granted, it's not too popular around here as it only has a 2.25" I pipe

If you like to fab stuff up, my Hooker cost me only 208. I had to tinker with teh universal 3inch cat and the fitting.

well only thing i fabed was the pipe to connect the cat to the I pipe and the cat to the Y pipe.. but you dont need that so just do this. Get the cheap hooker system, cut the flang off, and have someone weld a section of pipe from the I pipe to the y pipe. totaly takes out the cat.

All the systems are the same, just different ways of bolting to the flange.
