Get ZZP or Clear Image combo.

Get a catted down pipe with high flow cat.

Probably mid length header

catless sounds horrible. Most hate it, unless you don't care to hurt your ears.

I'm really good with a local shop, so obviously I'm going to be catless. They just drive it down the street, and then stick a sticker on it.

I'll just make sure I clear the code right before they drive it.

Because I'm cheap and can probably get away with it. I understand your point about the world being at stake and what not though. In the future maybe I'll upgrade if I ever feel like passing emissions the right way.
