I don't think there's a 3rd cat....just a resonator on the end of the 2nd cat. It should have already been removed when you installed your cat-back. Yeah, just get a high flow cat from stromung or random tech.

Just get a straight pipe instead of a hiflow cat. It's a lot cheaper, and it's not going to wear out like a cat is. Just run a straight pipe, and keep your stock cat for when you have to get the car smoged. Thats what I do.

I'd go with a RT cat over stromung. RT uses a metallic based catalyst which will last much longer than the ceramic element in stromung.

Be sure, if you're going to go catless, that your state doesn't have laws against this.

I wouldnt recomend it because unless you are racing the car on a track and not driving it on the street, expect a ticket after awhile and even more trouble when you have to smog it... There was a big state budget allocated for this purpose recently and its being emphasized with local PD. |
