when you guys put your cat back on did you take out the studs from the cat caonverter or did you just leave them in and connect the cat to those? the holes on the flange for that part are just barely not big enough, and trying to cut or make Stainless steel bigger is not quite easy

What cat-back did you buy? All that I've seen are made to bolt up to stock cat.

drilling and cutting stainless steel is easy if you cave the right tools.

Carbide my man does the job easy.

oh ya, i got one of the Tsudo N1's off ebay. i like it alot. 3" mandrel bent stainless steel. it goes over the crossmember instead of under which i like because my car is dropped 2" so i dont have to worry about scraping, but it has a little part that is pushed in or flat dent so it does not hit the tank or spare tire well ro something. its not much so it wont make too much of a difference. sounds nice to me, plus its SS so it should last awhile. i have pics of it, just need to get them developed and put on computer
