You know what I did? Pulled the flexpipe off my car, took it down to a local exhaust shop and got them to make a replica of mine but 2.5". Cost me about $100 but thats cheaper than getting one from trubendz.

You will really like it. I found the quality of mine to be very good, and check out the thickness of the flange. Plus, it has the prefered 1-4 and 2-3 pairings in it's 4-2-1 design, just like the SVT header.

so i went to the muffler shop yestarday......the guy quoted me roughly $80-$100 to weld high flow cat ......
but yea my next e-test is in 2 years.....so all i need for now is a bigger flex.....
just a quastion.....i measured my OBX header and it has diameter of 2.25"
and i see that most of flex pipes are 2.5" will the flanges for header and flex work fine togethere that way?
like the header and flex i can do myself....and after i'll take it to some shop to weld that cat on.....
if anyone know where to get a flex for a really good price please let me know.....for some reason they are pricey.....
and yes i asked the guy if he could make me a replica but then he was like "you are looking at straight time, and i don't think i have those flanges" .....like damn man....your shop is called "Muffler man" a flang shouldn't be a problem

You should look for a 2.25" flex instead of a 2.5" flex. With exhaust the smoother the passages the better. If you are going from 2.25" to 2.5" and then back to your 2.25" exhaust then there will be a turbulent section when it hits your 2.25" flange.
