I did the same thing for my flowmaster, but the one thing you have to realize is a cat back is most likely a 3 inch pipe where the stock is a 2.5'' pipe. So your just choking down your hi-po part.One thing Ive learned, by doing it also, not to do is cheap out. It cost more in the long run. My flowmaster 80 series $90 + $100 for the weld + $50 for the tips. thats $330 the same price as a magnaflow cat back, and I dont even have the 3'' piping, dammit!

Magnaflows are great. I run their 3" dual muffler coming off LT's on my catless x-piped TD's, and it sounds awesome at idle and SCREAMS at wot. I have a sound clip hosted if you would like to hear it.

Sounds great!
To reiterate, the stock exhaust is 2.75". I did the same thing you're thinking about doing and it worked out fine and sounds great. Part No. 12267, with the 3" inlet/2.5" outlet. Here's a link at how it sounds:

As far as the install, I had a muffler shop do it. The 3" input on the muffler should slip right on the 2.75" stock pipe, with a little welding/clamping.
As far as gain...I really can't tell a "seat of the pants" difference, but I don't have a true CAI, so that could be the reason why. I did it mainly for sound. Supposedly unless you go with a CAI, LT's and either no cat or hi po cat, there's not a really big gain, if any.
But the sound...nice...so it was worth the $100.
