Dynomax super turbo cat-back
Products For Power (supposedly Dynomax) high flow bolt-in cat
AP mandrel bent y-pipe
Megs round rolled edge tips, in chrome ( http://coneengineering.com/megs/megshome.htm )

Call Summit at 800-230-3030 for a high flow bolt in cat, the one I know of is the Catco, #CTO-4115 , look the price up at summitracing.com . It's where I got my PFP cat, but I don't think they sell those anymore.

In the sig, although I should probably bold it, since I love the flowmaster so much. My brother's running a flowmaster too, although I'm not sure what model. Also, one of the previous owners thought that it'd be a bright idea to weld everything together from the exhaust manifolds back. Makes it kinda hard to get to the bad fuel level sender in the tank seeing as how you have to drop the exhaust to get to it.

I second that, Tom... I'll be running a the Dynomax Super-Turbo catback with a pipe through the cat (gotta love FL, no emissions regs!)....I can't wait to hear it. I'm ordering a set of Edelbrock exhaust tips too this afternoon..they look great. 2 1/2 in. welded up, with a 3 1/4 in. exit..chrome, intercooled. They're like $35...

Joe, have you seen the 360 degree band clamps by Dynomax? You can butt two pipes together with them. You could always make a cut in your I-pipe in an "accessible area", I guess a few inches behind the cat, and then use the clamp to put the system back together. What's cool is when you drop the axle down to the ground, the cat-back exhaust just slides right out as one piece.

(That's my "tip" for installing a cat-back!! Much easier than trying to raise the car 30 feet in the air. In short, jack rear of car up, rest the rear frame rails on jackstands (in front of lower control arms, there's a pad on each side), and keep the jack under the axle. Remove lower shock nuts. Undo the clip holding the brake line to the chassis. Remove the track bar (panhard rod) and track bar brace. Lower the axle down, but watch the brake line and brake hose so you don't hang that 200 pound axle from them!! You don't want to fck the hose up! When the axle is down to the ground, pull the exhaust out.)

Here's a link to the clamps: http://store.summitracing.com/produc...earchType=ECat
