One good reason to retain the OE cat, I still have mine in the garage.

Or even to have a straight exhaust made up and weld the box over the top. Straight through performance but looks of an OE cat...........

That's what I did, the powerflow guy even welded a new tail section on the cat so it could fit to the new exhaust.

Would act as a resonator box then as well and make the exhaust sound even better. Thats a damn good idea. I need a standard cat someone please!!!!!!
