Default installing pacesetters on my 02 T/A

Hey guys i'm going to be putting on my LT's soon, and had a couple questions. Whats the best bang for the buck on the cat converters? I currently have SLP LM2 as my cat back and I would like a free flowing/awesome sounding exhaust with as little rasp as possible. Also I was wondering if you need 0xygen sensor extenders for the 2 front sensors?

The best cats are no cats.

You'll either need 24" O2 extensions for your Pacesetters or Bosch 13111 Corvette O2 sensors.

yeah, I bought 2 cuts a while back, but was told that the car would be to loud and sound like total **** so.....I decided to get cats. What would be the best cats to get? that not only flow good but sound good. Also if I got those bosch spark plugs you mentioned, that would mean I don't need extenders? thanks!

The bosch part he mentioned 13111 isn't a spark plug it's an o2 sensor, if you get the 13111 o2 sensor, you do NOT need extensions
As for cats, couldn't tell ya (ORY here)

I was in the same place bought my car with the loud mouth on it and didn't want cats and it to sound like crap. so I got a mufflex Y hooker cat back and sold my old Loud mouth for $270 in 20 min in the forsale section. I love the way my car sounds now

oh yeah and as far as cats I installed the exact same setup on my buddies car but used TSP's catted Y and his car is quieter than my car with the cats. The TSP catted Y is a good buy and will probably do what you want.

I have a pair of Magnaflow/Carsounds 3" 5000-series cats'. They flow pretty good and the body gives pretty good clearance. I found them on Ebay for like $60 each.
