im hoping a large 300cpsi cat will reduce the cold 1start up noise more than it does on the 27won dp/fp i have heard on youtube they are pretty loud! i also have an ARK exhaust so im aware it wont be as quiet if it was paired with stock. i have enquired to see if they will ever sell the cat on its own as im not too bothered about the frontpipe. it would be nice to know if it would just bolt onto oem frontpipe but i think that would create a serious bottleneck would you say?
oh thats a bonus if it helps you guys with emissions, to be honest i thought most catted downpipes were efficient for emissions tests hence why they made catted versions and not just race versions?
Wagner has a installation instructions file on their website where you can see you can choose either the stock front pipe or their 3 inch front pipe .So yes it will also bolt onto the oem front pipe.

It will create a bottleneck offcourse yes .It would be nice if they sold the downpipe seperatly ,as i like to use my own front pipe as wel.The only thing that i don"t like is the gasket they use to connect the downpipe with the front pipe.I would have changed that so something more durable like a v band or a crush seal.They did enlarged the oem style flange and added a extra mounting hole for their 3inch downpipe flange.
