CAT delete pipe please

Can you all reference some CAT delete pipes for my stock exhaust. Every company I am finding says that the 3.5" cat delete pipes only fit their products not the stock pipe. Which I know that the stock pipe is 3.5".

I am looking for just an Aluminized one.

Or maybe someone would be willing to part with theirs.
Thanks - P

It is an oddball size, I'm not sure if there is one for a stock exhaust. For what its worth, i tested my truck without the cat and it didn't really make a difference with our without it as far as EGT goes. The turbo was a lot louder, but there was a droning noise too.

I didn't notice any difference deleting mine. probably could've just knocked out the center and got the same result.

i beat the middle of the cat out and put it back in. Mine was clogged. It really opened the sound up.

No cat here either, thus making the infamous 03 turbo whistle even MORE annoying.

I already know what the sound is like. My 2004 6oh had a 4inch straight pipe, with no cat or muffler. I was just not wanting to have to go up in pipe size. Waste of money IMO. But if i could get away with just deleting the cat and muff it would be great.

Totally off topic, but the 5thread title confused me severely. When I see CAT in all caps like that I automatically think "Caterpillar" and was wondering what you were trying to delete.

ROFLMFAO

Just thought that was funny and wanted to share...

My initial reaction was the same! I thought "well, they ask about CAT batteries so why not a CAT delete pipe?"

I don't understand that, I LOVE the whine of my early '03 turbo!
But, that's all a matter of personal preference and opinion.

So true about the matter of opinion. When I got this 2006 I have now, I swore I wasn't going to mess the stock exhaust (like I did w/ my 2004 6oh)......

But after having the truck for almost a year now, I am ready to do the straight pipe again. But I will not be romping and stomping with my wife in the truck. She hates it.

"happy wife, happy life"
