Default Cats - How big, and which brand?
I tried doing a search, and there wasn't much I could dig up. I don't really like the price of the Random Tech's, so i'm more or less going with Magnaflows or Carsounds. What part numbers is everyone using? Is 2.5" or 3" better? They'll be going on with the long tubes, followed by a dynotune right after. I'll be keeping the loudmouth and lid. Other than that, there won't be any other mods for awhile, so I guess we can keep that in mind.

I also keep seeing 3 way, 4 way, 2 way, that way, this way, but which way do I need?

Make your Lts Flps, then you can do No cats,
and add the flp cats with ease for inspection or long trips you want a little less noise.

I'm not spending $1200. I'm on a budget, and $247 for coated long tubes is a deal that can't be beat.

Look around,
I got my set used for 700.00
and they look new. Even with the cheap Pacesetter, cats, and oyp, you will have almost that or more
