...which is pretty much all the time. 
Is the stock catback restrictive?
Is the stock catback restrictive? I just installed a set of headers and y pipe on my 02 today but I still have my stock catback. The stock unit looks like it has decent flow but am I really leaving alot on the table by keeping it for now?

For the price of a catback and the y-pipe you already bought, you could have bought true duals. Not only would it sound 10 times better, it would flow much better than a y-pipe as well. Sale the y-pipe and buy duals now so you don't have to do it later. TD's can be had for 250.00-400.00 all day long.

I spent $150 dollars on headers and a catted 3 inch y pipe.
Thanks for coming out. Better luck next time

i run the stock cat back, i do have long tubes with 2 cutouts, i love the quite from the stock cat back, have been thinking of a mufflex or true dules which i have had both before on a third gen, i must be getting old as each time i am about to order a new exhaust , i think about how quite my car is now and leave it alone.

just do a manual cutout for $50 or so with install.
i suggest getting a piece of straight 3" pipe, run that from the Ypipe to the 3" cutout, then run the stock catback from there.
i could pull the plate on/off my old cutout in 2 mins
