You should get a Magniflow high-flow cat. It has been proven they create less than 1psi of backpressure in your exhaust system, and it'll greatly reduce your exhaust noise. Plus you will be running clean emissions. Btw, if your worried about bachpressure switch to a 3" exhaust with the 3" cat.

Thats what Im running on my stock LS-T, 3" high flow MagnaFlow with a 3" exhaust, and I've been pretty happy with it.
