Magnaflow universal cat

Vibrant Streetpower Stealth muffler

stock piping

anyone own these or this combo?

Why are you replacing the cat? If there's nothing wrong with yours, leave it alone and spend the money on a better muffler. The best value in exhaust for all but the boosted of heavily-built NA 2GNTs remains the 2G GST catback or rear section.

I used to run a Pacesetter 4-2-1 header into a 33" Cherry Bomb glasspack in place of the cat into stock piping into a GST rear section. It was loud as hell. Swapping to stock exhaust manifold/downpipe plus a stock cat and GST catback, the car sounds better than it ever has. (And we're talking almost 11 years.)

You can also make the stock muffler from a 3G work from what I've seen. Cheap, deep, and easy. Just some other options. Exhaust isn't going to give you gobs of power on one of these cars, so I say get the look and a better sound for the best price.

I need a new cat because there is a Flowmaster resonator there. I'm probably going to move it back and I want the Vibrant because I've heard good things about them, also, its flat black and looks badass..

I probably should have mentioned I already have an exhaust on there.
