Did anyone just buy an o/r pipe and buy cats and weld them on? It's an easy way to same some $$ if you can weld. I was thinking of doing it...any objections?

both cats = $75
bbk o/r = $189
total = $264
bbk w/ cats = $ 425

There's nothing wrong with doing that. I have an extra H-pipe that started life as an off-road and then had cats welded in. Just check all your clearances before you weld anything so you don't have any fitment issues.
