so basically i'll need a cat with a 2 inch inlet/outlet

i thought for sure my exhaust would be around 2 inch or 2.25 inch. Am i better off going with a bigger pipe? or just leave it stock?

I think I'll stay stock size... :confused:

right now since i don't have a header, i am just running stock exhaust with a cherry bomb in place of the silencer and a resonated tip and 2 inch pipe in place of my muffler.with the ka24e's low compression it doesn't sound to bad and it only cost 25 or 30 bucks and still seems to give good power.with my pulley an afe air filter a gutted cat and that exhaust i pulled a 16.9 at 83 mph at last weeks idrc and thats at mile high,i also only have 40,000 original miles
