I cut the cat off everything fit together nicely just have to get one more clamp and wow what a difference she was screaming down the steet at about 3500 rpm. I will post a video shortly of the setup and what it sounds like

I removed my muffler and second cat and added some 3 inch piping. Somewhere I acquired an exhaust leak. Anyone give me a good weak spot on stock exhaust? Oh and my o2 sensor on the front passenger side has the top blown off. Don't realy have the cash to replace.
