best sounding header IMO. great flow, no issues, and a very cheap price if you keep the options down.

Clear Image is a better choice

There are people that have had problems with the combo but the issues have been put to bed. I really have no complaints about mine.

So how should I build this? If I go catless it'll throw a CEL so how would I avoid that?

A lot of people go catless is there any advantage or disadvantage to having a cat?

there is a VERY slight increase in power going catless (on the level of less than 3hp). IMO though, sounds like crap, and why not throw the cat on for emissions reasons? Im all for choosing power over emissions, but a loss of 3hp to help keep the air cleaner is fine by me

it doesnt

High flow cat on the LSJ still kicks the rear O2 code.

2.25" for less than 200whp (an NA build), 2.5" piping up to about 260whp, 3.0" piping for anything larger (or any turbo builds regardless of power)

id go either vibrant or clear image, and yeah the high flow cat will kick the 02 sensor most likely. From what ive heard vibrant may be the best quality but it is more expensive
