Default Where can I get 2 pipes to be an exact replacement for my cat's?

I'm trying to find someone who has or can make me 2 pipes to be an exact replacement for the stock cat's for an 02 WS6? I want to keep my stock y-pipe so that I can put the cat's back in every year to get it smog checked. I'm running a wideband air/fuel gauge w/ my STS turbo kit and the gauge won't read accurately with the cat's installed. The gauge has to be installed after the turbo but infront of the cat's. With a rear mounted turbo that's impossible, so the cat's have to go. If some could please help that would be great. Thanks!!!

I just went to a exhaust shop...

cost me 40$ bucks a cat to delete.. only reason why it was so expensive was because its hard to get a exhaust shop to do it..

I think speed inc. or SLP or SOMEONE sells a cat delete y-pipe for our cars. It simply bolts up to the manifolds and then to the I pipe. This would work perfect for you. You could swap out the whole thing each year.

Be cautious when unbolting the stock cats, the studs in the manifolds LOVE to break the hell off. Might want to hit them with a little penetrating oil the night before or somthing.

yeah but thats stupid expensive!

if you could find a full off-road y-pipe, it would most likely be cheaper. whats the deal with that??
