It should sound just like mine, maybe a even a little more aggresive. I never replaced my stock cat.
A custom Y-Pipe is a great idea, and worth it i think. But it's $$$
As for the custom bending of the exhaust. A shop where I lived mandrel bent stainless steel pipes (NOT ALUMINUM) and welded them in place for about $315.00. Putting a Cat on isn't going to add much work to the process, but the y-pipe will.
#66-21502 will work, but that has ONE inlet & ONE outlet. So no dual tail pipes for you. Our stock setups have ONE inlet and TWO outlets. That's why you want #21721.
NOW, it SHOULD have ONE 2.5" in and TWO 2.25" out. I don't know why Thunder Racing is showing it as a 2.75" in. I think that is a typo. Check first, but mine cost about 80.00 from Summit, so 90.00 isn't far off. I wouldn't buy #21502.

HOK-21721 @ www.summitracing.com for 80.00
That's the exact one I ordered, and a better price than Thunder Racing.

How long do dynomax mufflers last as far as rusting out?? Do they sound the same as stock if I had outlet pipes bent to match stock tips and bends.
Smog police always b*tching when they see any holes any where on the exhaust.

Yep, I did indeed. I would never have believed it myself! I had no clue anyone ever made them. I thought headers for 2.8s never existed outside of the guys on the v-6 board making some. And the fact that they are long tube headers blows my mind! But we got them off a 3rd gen bird at Pull-a-part. They were welded in. We believe this is why they were still there. We had to buy a hack saw and some blades adn cut them off at the cat. We have to get the muffler shop to make a decent y-pipe with flanges for the headers. Then add flanges to the headers. I got some pics of them this weekend. I plan to get the roll developed in the next few days & I will post the pics!
