never worked with a whole mid pipe but i helped a buddy put on a catco cat once and he never had any problems with it. drove the car for 3 years without any problems before he sold it.

I wouldnt buy it, but that is just me. I learned the hard way that you get what you pay for. When I first got my car 5 years ago, I bought a Pacesetter o/r h from summit cause it was cheaper than the rest, and when I went to put it on the passenger side pipe was so bent it was pointed out towards the side of the car instead of out the back. I fought with it for an hour before calling Summit and having a BBK pipe sent out. BBK still isnt that great, but it is light years ahead of catco, pacesetter and other frugal part producers.

Catco makes decent stuff, but the H that I saw from them was stock size, 2.25". If you're mostly stock then it's fine, though.

That's what I thought. They do make Hi-Flow cats, though.
