Get a y-pipe and intake, and forget about the cat...if you want sound, just take the extra money you save, and buy a muffler and get it put on...
then buy a budget b pipe at a later date

High-flow cat better than no-cat (test pipe)? I'm trying to figure that out. It would be good if I could do a dyno test with one on and then the other.

Try a carsound cat. CHeap, reliable, and SOME applications actually show gains.

If you do the cat, go ahead and do the y-pipe @ the same time if you have the money for both. This will make the labor easier to manage.
