So your stock cats are still in the car? If so don't bother. When I did my lt's and ory I broke 4 out of 6 studs in the manifold getting the cats off. This was on a car that NEVER see's rain and had about 20k on the clock. Save up get the lts and y pipe and replace all at once.

don't bother....just putting an orp on stock manifolds gains minimal power.

save the money and hassle.

i noticed no difference other than sound...and i had huge issues with clearance
