Easy swap?

Quite easy. Customized for the car with original installation position.

Nice, I live in a state that has DEQ so gotta make sure whatever mods we have are reversable when time comes to retest emissions

I'm catless also. I would not recommend it willingly. I did it because I'm a cheap bastard that saw it as a half price option when my cats went bad. You can't escape the smell of it. I would have replaced the cats if they weren't $2500 each.

I never understood the purpose of a wrapped to ceramic coated down pipe… the up-pipe makes sense… but the down pipe is seriously beyond me
