install is the same on all of them.. cattman you might have to bang it a bit for proper fit.. overall the cat bolts are a PITA and you better soak them with some liquid wrench first..

Neither, but Stillen is cheaper, that might make you happier since you didn't pay permium price for not-so quality products like Cattman.

Nope, it is 2 piece but it bolts together. The Stillen unit is now universal for all 4th gens (CA spec/FED spec). If you have a 99.5 model you will need to specify.

Stillen

Me and my friends put the stillen pipe on my car just last week and we didn't run into any problems putting the pipe on, it fit just great. Getting the stock pipe off can be a bit of a pain in the *** though
