Which like said earlier makes sense, can't have Cats so close to an F.I. motor.

Ended up, ordering these:

They looked alright, and value was good. Can't for the life of me justify some 250+ USD just for some short test pipes because of a brand name.

Where I live though, Cats are crucial, and even if they do almost jack sh*t, at least they're there when the cops peek under, plus those TP's I picked up give the appearance of Cats with that 'resonated' chamber (which looking at it I know it can't do much). So, also picked up two 3" IN/OUT Cats. Should be able to take the Vortech @ 10 PSI + TG's A2A kit happily all day.
Yes, I would expect the factory cats on a factory turbo car to hold up to being turbo better! After-all, they have to warranty that. Cat failures on turbo converted vehicles is much less of a surprise.
