Don't worry about the cat you have if it's stock, as they suck and go bad. Get a DP with a new cat and a bolt in model to make it easier on you. 2.5" or 3" depends on what you plan to do with the car in the future. Probably 3" to be safe.
For price, ZZP's pricing is pretty good for DPs. You'll find others are more expensive usually. At least with ZZP they'll ship you a return label if you choose and you can send in your old one for a $50 credit. Need to go ahead and realize that modding your car is going to cost a lot of money. No way around it... You have to pay to play.
