where to buy 3" d-p and 3 1/2" cat back

If you are getting a chip get a TurboTweak. TurboTweak Home
For a nice 3" car back look on sphon.com Their 3" SS cat back is reasonably priced. You can get the Hooker from Summit for cheaper. I had that cat back and did not like it. I now have a custom SS cat back that I had built and it cost about the same as the one sphon sells.
It may be hard to find a 3" SS DP. I think someone on this board makes one. I forgot his name. They are about $800 I think.
If your car still has the stock torque converter, you could go with a TE44 or a TE60 if you are on a budget or go with a 6157 PTE dual ball bearing or a Cotton's CPT61BB. That is just to name a few. There are others out there as well. There are many ways to skin a cat. :biggrin:

yes it is the same. Just make sure it has the 4 bolt fllange to connect to the cat or test pipe.

I think doing some head work is a good idea. It will make going fast a lot easier. Basically being able to run faster on less boost. A good idea would be to send the heads to Champion heads in FL. He is not cheap but knows his stuff. Figure $1000 if you want a max effort job. But if you got the best now you won't have to do it again later.

Trent "ttafan" has the Mufflex 4" system on his car...it is a single shot...no dual tips. http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/turbo-trans-am-tech/251738-ever-closer-9s.html I believe Trent is very happy with it...
Is that SS or mild steel?
any picture
I had it put on today and it sounds great. I was concerned that it might be to loud. The Magnaflow muffler is stainless, the rest is not. The system they made for me connects where the cat normally connects and has a high flow spun cat and is 3/5" from there back with a single outlet on the drivers side.
I had my 3" SS catback done by FLP in Naperville. It had a Ultra Flow SS muffler and they used my stock tips. I paid $700 or so installed for it. This was in Oct 2007. It sounds great. It flows almost as good as an open dump. I gain about 1lb of boost opening the dump.
