I can't say I've ever seen a cat that didn't need to be welded in, or a
factory one that didn't need to be cut out. Unless you are replacing the
whole y-pipe/cat.

I checked around a little, most of the shops start at 200 for a
standard CAT and some go as high as 425 to put one in. They all say
they can't do anything like a high flow cat which is BS. The
Magnaflow is direct fit and bolt on as long as the rest of the exhaust
is factory. No welding, cutting, or bending is needed. I did find
the Magnaflow for 105 with free delivery and he has it in stock. From
what I have found the Magnaflow is the cheapest direct fit I can find.
Most of the other ones need to be welded.
