So I should just go with a stock cat instead of getting a magnaflow one? I think the stock inlet and outlets are 2.5, or am I wrong?
why would you knock out the honeycomb insulation? I thought the insulation filtered out the emissions.

You buy a new cat and gut it because in the US if the Highway patrol pops his head under your car and sees a test pipe he'll either cut you a fix it ticket if hes a nice guy or he'll impound your car.
