Default Mac Headers question

Should I get a set with the ORP and get some good flowing cats welded on or are the MAC cats good enough?

I'm ordering soon.

I would just get the off road y pipe, the mac cats suck your stock cats flow a lot better then the mac cats suck.

Is it possible to get my stock cats welded into the ORY-pipe? I need to stay emissions friendly.

Cats suck, get the Off road Y, and then when emissions comes around put some cats on the car...I picked up 11rwhp and 21rwtq by taking off the cats... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

I dont want to be too loud, my previous car was insanely loud and I'm tired of that. I want to be able to talk on the phone in my car.

So, can I weld my stock cats to the MAC y-pipe? Are they the same diameter?

Well if you have emmissions testing up there get the cats. Or have stock ones welded in the ORP. Down in Peoria we don't have emissions tests so I got the ORP. Not super loud, but I have to keep my cut out closed! <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

I had the Mac Y pipe w/ cats and I had the stock cats welded in their place so I imagine it shouldn't be much different with the offroad Y.
