I just bought my first performance car - an '89 Mustang GT Hatchback. This car has had some good work done on it previously, and has some good mods on it, without molesting the engine too much. Most notable is probably the Steeda suspension, Mac exhaust, and 5-lug swap, front & back. Complete list of known mods below the pics.
I'm going to put some high-flow cats on this car to be street legal, but I'm not sure which brand to go with... any suggestions? I'm also considering changing out the 3" H-pipe for a 2.5" H-pipe that came with the car. I love the way the car sounds now and don't want to quiet it down too much... thoughts?

Thanks... I took a look around for 3" bassani cats and could only find 2.5". Maybe I need to look harder, but I do like the sound of the metal substrate!
