Default need some ADVICE guys plz!!!

Ok i have a HORRIBLE sounding exhaust, not to mention it makes my car choke and stutter a bit cuz i think the cats are bad....I have stock everything from the mani to the cats. The only thing that is different is that there is no muffler. I was wondering if you guys can give me some advice on a FULL exhaust to get ***WITH CATS*** i dont want cut outs or nutin crazy I just want something that sounds nice and mean but not like it would if i had no cats! i want to keep the cats cuz i will be going back to cali and everyone knows how freakin strict they are... i was looking to get a used exhaust on here but maybe u guys can help me out. I dont wanna pay alot for a new one so if you guys can help witht that too. Thanks everyone for the time and advice...

If your car is sputtering and what not I'm betting one or both of your cats is clogged up. There was a GM service bulletin on this a good while back. You could just put in some aftermarket high flow cats pair that up with a SLP LM1 cat back (used) and it should fit the bill in sound cost and emissions.

Wouldn't adding longtubes move the placement of the cats? And I'm sure there are aftermarket cats you can buy that are emissions legal in cali.
