Use your regular cat to replace it with. Or us the RT cat from custommaxima.
If your worried about loud ask to get a resonator on the test pipe.

I found the test pipe to make hardly any difference at all on noise. The type of muffler has the single biggest effect.

how much is the test pipe compared to the RT cat?

the test pipe has no price on the website just yet...

the rt cat says like 180 on custommaxima. I just emailed budget to find out their price for the test pipe.
