yes i got the bolt on cat delete..............................and for those out there that want to gut the cat and in reinstall it.......i think that would be a good idea until they start doing emission testing on diesels, then u would probably fail the test and be buying a new one, the delete pipe is the best way to go....................my02cents

i just let them weld a piece of straight pipe in at an angle, doesnt look bad to me, no one can see it, i dont know what size pipe was used i think it was 1/4" bigger than the factory pipe, it works!

Mt CAT has a hanger welded to it that then goes to a frame support. Does this delete pipe include that hanger on it allready?

What does anyone think about the AERO mufflers. I am looking at that. Turbo back. The stock turbo back pipe is 3.5 and that is the same as the turbo back system for the 4". Not sure about adding the resonator it is 50.00 more
