The headers exit at 3 in pipe by the Resonator which is a smaller diameter (2.25 in?). Would it be better to run 3 in pipping all the way back and get rid of the stock pipping that comes from the factory or should I just buy an adapter also? Is there a significant power loss from the 3in piping all the way back to the stock pipping?


Just making sure I have all my facts straight
Just noticed the years of cars in your sig.

This is just my opinion, based on my own personal experience with my 2002. On an '01 up, I would definitely run a cat. I didn't for a few years and no problems, but then suddenly developed the symptoms you will find in the following link. Poor mileage, surging idle, etc.. I installed a cat, turned the rear o2 back on and all the issues vanished.
