Default want to add cats to my ory

like the title says i want to add cats to my ory. i measured the circumference of my y at the 3 bolt flange and down and it was 9.75 inches which if i remember right i need to divide that by 3.142 (pi) to come up with a 3.10 inch diameter. so the .10 must account for the material thickness? so i believe i need a cat with 3 inch inlet and outlet, does that sound like the right size? also are there any cats that are short like the magnaflows that are a good low cost alternative?

yea these cats are great, you can cut off the ends so they fit pretty much wherever you want them.

Damn. That is a good price. I'm thinking about buying some to throw on my H-pipe I'm having fabbed, just to tame it down a little, and make sure there's no rasp at all.

I wouldn't worry about it cutting down much on airflow. I have the magnaflow version on my 3" x-pipe and the setup is still somewhat raspy.
