When I had my factory h-pipe a long time ago, I got a steel rod, sharpened one end like a standard screwdriver, and used it with a hammer to break out all of the material from inside the cats. Nice sound, and no more plugged H-Pipe, and, best of all, free.

If you buy a cheap piece of crap, it will fit like a cheap piece of crap, just keep that in mind.

Bassani offroad 3 piece.
Because of the way it's designed, it pretty much fits regardless of how messed up the rest of the exhaust is.
