Are there any downpipes that will not delete the cat? Preferably i want a 3" downpipe or even 2.75 before the flex then 3". I am going to get a 3" high flow cat then get 3" catback?
Any downpipes that i can get? I heard there is delete and a non-delete megan racing exhaust? anyone know?

VRS Exhaust has a nice piece. They will do a neckdown or not at your request, but you would want to call them and place the order outside their website in order to be able to comment in your paypal payment, as doing it on their site doesn't allow for order comments.

The full 3" as well as that they had the exhaust hanger that many do not are reasons why I went with them, and their price was reasonable for a stainless steel piece. One thing they were missing was a place to mount the grounding strap, and so I had to have a solution welded in place for it (a stud that bolt the strap to). Probably could get them to do this as well but I didn't think I had to ask for it, doh.

I got the megan racing 3" dp and kept my cat. I just had it cut and welded up. Cost me like 60 bucks or so. You could even cut and flange it if you wanted to keep it "bolt on". Also, as suggested, RRE's stuff kicks ass.

Why would you want to do that? Does your particular setup "call the need" for you to purchase such a downpipe? Click here and read.
 
I have a punishment racing dp and still have a high flow cat (real one, not fake resonator)
 
megan has a nicely priced one and i got mine about a year ago..3'' downpipe with no cat delete and no welding....i run a test pipe until its emission time and then i throw on my cat...:thumb:

I have owned two Ebay downpipes and have had no problem so far.

Buy a downpipe to fit exactly what you want then search on CATALYTIC CONVERTER. cut the downpipe and either weld in the cat or use muffler clamps to secure. Magnaflow as well as others are EPA highflow cat's but you can see through the honey comb from end to the other. I would fit the whole thing with clamps first then take it to a muffler shop and have it welded.

Downpipe from ebay - $100
Cat from ebay - $60
welding $20

Total under $200 and you have exactly what you want.

I did the exact same thing. Worked great. Looks good. I bought a universal cat which was not flanged so I had to buy some flanges from extremepsi.com and welded it up.
 
Or you can get a bolt on cat like I did and works w/my punishment dp and 3" thermal catback.
