Do like the man said and look up carsound. Way cheaper than that POS and much higher quality. Best source for carsound cats = eBay.

I believe stock exhaust size is 2.25"....if so, here's basically what you want:

http://www.car-sound.com/02product/d...niversal=94005

Obviously, it can be found on eBay:

http://motors.shop.ebay.com/items/Pa...id=p4506.c0.m1

If you get this unit, you will need the muffler shop to weld in an O2 bung (cheaper than buying the unit that already has it). As for flanges, they aren't required. However, if you want them, you can cut them off the old cat or purchase new ones.

well if i actually go to that website and put in my year and model etc. then it tells me that my exhuast is only a 2 inch but thank you and you would recommend just going with one on ebay and that is that brand and just having it put on and have the O2 bung put in

The 2.0" model number is 94004. However, the direct fit you posted might be your best option. Depends on the cost of flanges and how much your muffler shop wants to charge you.
