not sure its just a stocky thats what i thought it might be i might take it out and bash the honeycomb stuff out then weld a pipe in, it will look like its got an cat but it will just be straight through

should get a good high-flow cat, but then a gutted cat is still alright thats what i run, the only problem with it is that it runs pretty rich
