If your SURE you want to go that route. Pick up a y from Random Tech. Their cats are first class in flow #'s, along w/ Carsound or Magnaflow. Otherwise if you ever wanna do headers its a waist of money. I spent about $500 on a catted Bassani y (worst in the market in imo) and now want to do LT's. So that was a waste. Live and learn.

FLP or Jet Hots are what you want , and you'll need the LT's for that future cam in your sig. both come with cats and racing pipes that can be switched out.

I run stock manifolds w/Mufflex OR pipes, a LG Motorsports 2&3/4" Y pipe, Flotech cutout welded into the 3" SLP Factory Dual-Dual int. pipe and 02 sims. I can re-install my stock cats w/02's on ramps in my garage in less than 1 hour. The Mufflex pipes work excellent for those of us not wanting to install headers. '02 A4 SS. Vig 3200 w/stock motor and 3.23's. Consistent low 12.3's, 110+, 1.67 sixties. WJ.
