The difference in price between o/r and catted is about 200 bucks. On Ebay they sell the cats used on the magnaflow pipes (part #s given) for 30 bucks each. How much does it cost roughly to have the cats welded into an o/r pipe?

personally i wouldnt buy a catted H unless you fork out the extra for long tubes , if you can get by with an Offroad go that way , if you have a 99 or newer i have a used one ill sell you for 100 plus shipping , email me at HBK7823@aol.com if you are interested , welding them in would be cheaper

Im actually gonna do the same to my Bassani O/R X-Pipe. Im guessing itll be about 50 bucks to weld them in. Very simple cut and weld job. Mufflers cost about 50-50 to weld in, and these are even simpler. Just don't forget to get the 94100 Series Magnaflow Mufflers if you buy them from Enbay. I know who you're gonna buy from, im gonna do the same. He also has VERY low prices for tips too.

it would be so much more cost effective for you to just buy an off road pipe and stick your factory pipe in the garage somewhere. Swapping out an o/r pipe is almost as easy as changing your oil... all you need is a floor jack and a socket wrench. It's such an easy hour or less of labor when you need to get your car emmissions checked and very worth it, good luck
