Yeah you can get an adpater for it. I ran 3" cutout to my stock cat back for 2 years. I would think you will loose power for everyday driving, but at the track when open you will get your 5-10 rwhp back. That was the power difference in my dyno numbers open vs. closed.

I have JetHot longtubes, Off road Y pipe, with my stock catback and love the sound...I started with a Borla adjustable, then swapped on a Magnaflow, and the stock sounds the best IMO...

FWIW, I needed NO ADAPTERS whatsoever. I did remove the stock "clamp" from the "I" pipe and replace it with a stainless band clamp for a leak-free seal though.

Here's my car (before cam swap):

Unfortunately, none after cam swap as wife has evidently lost our camera...

Thanks! It isn't really all that much louder now, but seems "deeper" toned if that makes sense.
WOT at 6700 sounds very nice though.
