Default Catless y pipe?

I'm not having any luck finding a catless Y pipe. I'm not ready to install headers and won't be for quite some time. The car came with a cat back system. I'm just looking to delete the cats and rear o2's. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you mean getting a pipe that connects your stock manifolds to your catback, save your money. Get a ORY when you get headers. If you get a pipe now you'll have to throw it away and get a new one when you get headers since it won't fit.

I agree with the above comment, but if you are set on doing a catless y-pipe off of you stock manifolds, I think this is what you are looking for. I was considering this for awhile, but never did it.

It will probably be a few years before I pull the trigger on a set of headers. I just don't want the hassle of installing them yet. TAvsGN that is exactly what I am looking for.

Thanks guys!

I believe Mac made a catless y-pipe for stock manifolds as well.

However, if the only reason you're putting off long tubes is due to the installation... it's not bad. While I've only done it once, it's nothing horrible. I just don't see wasting the money on something when you could just do it "right" the first time.

Honestly the car is fast enough for what I do. I just want to free up a couple HP with the cat delete. I may never install headers.

Still $200 for a cat delete? For around $400 you can get pacesetter headers with an ory that will net you at least 20rwhp vs 5rwhp for the !cat.
