I just wanted ur opinions on what kind of downpipe and cat I should get, cuz mine are shot. I want something that is priced pretty good and will give somewhat of a performace gain. Also where I could get them. Thanks for the help.

Are you turbo? If you have the HRC kit, they just came out with a new 3" DP. If you are Star, i remember seeing a post about a group buy awhile back. As for the cat, ERT has some hi-flow cats for a good price. Or you can get a race 'cat' on ebay for pretty cheap.

Just pick up a header then. You wont really see huge gains with a header, so IMO go with a cheaper one. I had a Pacesetter and it worked well, i sold it to another 2gnter and it has worked great for him.

If your stock DP is "gone", then either get a stock replacement or upgrade to a header. A new header usually comes with a new DP that connects to the cat.

Cat:
http://exileracing.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=215_248_216&products_id=257

Header:
http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/streetbeatcustoms/pas701224.html

You can probably find a cheaper price. I picked up mine for $150. Just a word of warning if you get the black painted ones, the paint lasts like 15 minutes.
