no because for free you can hollow out your stock one and it will fit just as well

largely depends on the exhaust you have. I had an Apexi WS exhaust and changing from cat to test pipe didn't make a difference in sound at all. Hollowing out the cat made it sound like crap though. Also, 'round here I only have to pass emissions 1 day a year.

I hate replacing cats. Never had to replace a test pipe.

Hollowing your stock cat is prob worse then running it with the (un-hallowed)cat, and it sounds like pure ***. Test pipes &gt; you.

take the cat off and replace it with the resonator, its a perfect fit if you get a "cat" from ebay, it really is just a resonator
