if you want to replace the 2.4 stock cat with an aftermarket cat, i think our stock downpipe is a little smaller than 2.5 inch...

well from what I've seen before most get a CEL but a few don't. I think if you get one you can take it to the dealer and have them clear it for you.

Your catalytic converter is part of the downpipe, between the exhaust manifold and cat-back exhaust. You have a resonator and muffler too. If you get a CEL some people are getting rid of it by using 2 spark plug anti-foulers (search for the threads on this)
