I didn't read the descriptions but honestly when u buy that, pay for shipping, pay for the labor to get the u bend cut out and new piece welded in, u paid the price for a downpipe that u can put in ur self with a new catalytic converter and complete better flow with less restriction throughout the whole thing

Not to mention selling an old cat for $100 so women can have platinum rings.

ditto what these guys said. Forget the ubend. Thats a rip-off. I paid 200 for a whole set of headers that came with a straight pipe. If you want to keep your cat you can buy a downpipe with a highflow cat for something in the $200 range from ZZP. Please take the free advice and save yourself the buyers remorse.
If you're hell-bent on just doing the u-bend delete, most good muffler places will do it for 100 bucks so you can save youself the time and labor and just pay them.

Is there a way to keep the stock cat and get the down pipe. I don't want to change the sound of the exhaust.

Cheaper and much better options are out there.

Interesting like what? I could do the stock cat and a 2.5 down pipe that sounds fine but what are the other options?
02-28-2012
A 2.5" downpipe with a HFC will sound just like stock.
Just get that and have it bolted in.
02-28-2012
Like he before me says.
Honestly though, I would just opt for the 3.0" Dia downpipe with a new cat.
If you like to tinker spend $200 and install headers for a true gain.
Then sell the old cat for $100.

Buy it at ZZP.
I think stainless on a downpipe is a waste of money.

People seem to under estimate how much a 3" dp will do for you.

Only difference is...
For $200...headers > downpipe.
Since they are the same price and all.
02-28-2012
im gonna try and run a downpipe car.

i cant see the headers giving that much more headroom over the manifolds.
02-28-2012
Tube tends to flow better than sand cast-iron.
Not to mention being at the highest volumetric flow region.
02-28-2012
they dont make any sets of headers i like right now, sucks.
02-28-2012
not even heavily discounted zzp's?
02-28-2012
i want S&S.
and where do you get heavily discounted ZZP headers?
02-28-2012
Ditto.
If that's the case...I'd buy em.
