How Many Cats?

I was wondering how many catalyst converters does an S4 TurboII have?

I thought s4's had 3 and s5's had two. Maybe that was just the n/a's though.
Edit: you're right, its just two.

So how would I be able to replace these cats? What size pipes would I need?

Oh and are there 3 or 2?

If I wanted to get all of them removed from an exhaust shop, how much would it cost?

N/A's have two precats and one main, TII's have one precat and one main.

In my area, the exhaust shop makes you remove your own. Literally, I paid them to let me cut off my own cat then have them weld a straight pipe in.

Wouldn't that be MUCH more pricey?

I plan to put on the JIC Twin Bullet exhaust, but I just want something to hold me over until then, I can't stand how much power I'm loosing to these damn cats and also the fact I can't hear my engine!!!

You can get a bonez downpipe that gets rid of the cats for less than 140 from www.rx7.com. You can do it all yourself - no welding or cutting needed.

*Requires flange modification for use with stock main Cat.*

Will a test pipe just bolt on? What modification does it require?

Bang for the buck Bonez is the way to go. If you want the best then plunk your pennies in a jar for the RB turbo back.

Nearly any downpipe should fit the same. Just because it's "JDM" doesn't make it better, I see no reason to pay nearly 2x as much for a JIC or HKS part.
