Magnaflow cats are made by carsound. And they probably make the SLP, too. I know SLP doesn't make their own. You're just paying a second markup in price from them.
The cat has nothing to do with headers or downpipes. You cut and weld it in.

i understand the reason for swapping out the stock CAT is to allow better flow. Do these Magna flows work as well as the SLP'* for a 1/3 of the price?
can i really save a "Bill," on this mod?

I have a 2.5" exhaust. I think Im going to get a 3" high flow cat. I would think you would get better flow than the 2.5, even with the expander reducer combo. If a high flow cat only flows 10% better, I would think you could get another 10% with the 3" cat. What do you think? (someone with knowledge)

lets just say this. I plan on going 3" eventually, so 3" now isn't going to hurt me. .5% is still something. But your right, I wasn't thinking. They proble use the same size cat for the 3" as they do the 2.5. just a differant opening. So I guess what you want to do is get the largest volume high flow cat you can fit under their: for the best results. But I'll just get the #94109
