Yea there are alot of companies that do the whole set up. Dynatech do LT heads, Y pipe and interchangeable High flow cats and test pipes. Not cheap but the easiest kit out there.

You want Magnaflow metallic-core high flow cats. They are the best flowing out there, but they are expensive. Second best are Magnaflow ceramic-core high flow cats, which flow pretty damn well, and are much cheaper also.

If I were you I would get the ceramic core. You aren't going to be giving up more than just a few hp.

I would suggest the Magnaflow Metallic Cats that everyone in the thread has been suggesting. Highest flowing cat that you can buy under $200. We sell them for $179 shipped a pair: http://www.eadperformance.com/catalo...th=42_75_77_78

We run these cats on all of our shop cars and have been extremely pleased with them.

Wow! I paid $220 for two earlier this year. The specs on these cats are impressive. Sounds like a good choice.
