Attaching header to cat-back question

[willieQ]

So if the outlet on my headers is 3in and my cat back is 2 1/4 where should i reduce it at? Should I just by a reducer that connects to the headers to go strait to a 2 1/4? or should I reduce it to 2 1/2 then get cats that are 2 1/2 inlet/outlet and let my exhaust guy reduce it from out of the cat to the rest of the exhaust?

Thanks guys
Will

If you are interested in converters, we can make you a set with 3" inlet and 2 1/4" outlet. Let me know via email.

Yeah Dan I know your work is great and everyone recomends you but I got the quote you sent me and its just too steep for me ( Im a college student) so im going a different route but thanks maybe in the future.

I do a lot of quotes so I am not sure what I quoted on. Doing these as a universal fit, you are looking at $300.00 for a set of the metallic core converters with 3" slip fit inlet and 2 1/4" slip fit outlet. Or $250.00 for ceramic core converters. Keep in mind the universal fit converters will need to be custom fit. If I quoted on converters for our headers specifically, they are a bolt in and require no labor charge to install.

If it was me, I would go 3" as far back as I could, and then get a 2.5" ball socket for the catback. The stock pipes will bolt to a 2.5" ball socket, no problem. I did it with my CIA Tri-y's to the stock catback.
