Which High Flow Cats Should I Use With Pacesetters? I have Pacesetter headers I will be installing soon to my Magna flow cat back system on my 04V.. Anybody have a recommendation/ link for which high flow cat to go with? My Magnaflow is 2.5' and the Pacesetters came with a 2.5' reducer piece so I know the cats need to be 2.5' inlet/outlet size but that's about it. I also know cutting/welding will be involved and I am OK with that.

yeah you will be doing a full custom setup without going with a different header/cat combo like kooks or something. honestly i have no cats and it doesnt sound overly loud. i would skip the cats if it where me.

I for one appreciate the cats on modern cars. Get behind a car without them and they have a much stronger exhaust smell.
You can always tell when they've been removed.

Kooks has high-flow cats as an option to their headers, and from what I can tell on the system on my car, it bolts directly up to the magnaflow exhaust system. I have that trio set-up. I believe the nice thing about Kooks is their headers and cats bolt up to the stock exhaust, and there fore other exhaust setups that work with the stock cats.

If I was going to build a system based on the pacesetters I would weld a 3in V-Band to the end of the header to a 3in to 2.5in transition then to the cat inlet. I would then cut the magnaflow and v-band clamp the cat exit to the magnaflow. With this if I ever decided to remove the headers or sell the cat-back it can go back together with v-bands.

I looked at my exhaust set up today. My xpipe hooks to the stock manifolds at the point they end. No spacer or anything. What header can I hook up direct to that without any modifications? Also what can I do to turn off my rear o2s without going to a tuner (nearest one is 250 miles away)
