If an A33 does look like hte picture then an aftermarket catback would be too long and extend past the bumper. Just my .02.

Cattman exhaust is made by Stromung, they also made exhausts for Mossy. I have one.
I don't like the way it sounds, the Megan one.

Hey Huff, after looking at the exhaust, do you think the rear section will be interchangeable with OEM b pipe (I have Cattman but same fitment nonetheless)? I called up and they said "I don't think it will work with stock b-pipe because the piping is too small" which doesn't mean much.

As far as i'm concerned, there are 2 pre cats and 1 main cat = 3 cats. Where do you get 4?

I think it's only that loud in the video because like he said:

My little piece of high temp water hose is still intact and holding strong.

I'm interested. I have a 2000 max with Y pipe. Any idea which place sells it the cheapest? I looked up Ebay and its going for $380 + $50 SHIPPING. I don't think there is a sound clip of a 2000 max with Y pipe and Megan catback? I might order one and be the first...hope its not crazy loud.
