That would work good since you already got flanges. I wanted flanges but no room with the driver side header so close to the floor. But it should work great for you.

well i was thinking about just replacing the flanges with the cats since the cats would need to have flanges weld on to be used anyway

yea exhaust leaks suck. thats why all of mine is welded too. the only place it not is the slip fit on the header collectors and the flanges on the back where th pipes run under the axel and out the back.

If you have them and keep them then i would but if you have to pul the back o2's dont worry they dont do anyhting anyway. they make sims to foo the computer they're there or you can get them tuned out. If you have them if not it'll be all the more asier lol.

so what youre saying is that with my longtube headers, ory, straight 3 inch pipe to the 2.5 in tailpipes...with a set of thunderbolt cats after the headers, itll sound nice and loud/good with a just a bit of rasp?
