some help with my exhaust... thanks
first id like to state that i dont know ish about cars and i also dont have a lot of money so no catback exhaust system. aight i want to "fix" up my exhaust but still use stock pipes. can i weld on a catback thing (or is it a catalylic converter i dont know???) and then just have it hooked up to some nice hearders and tip it off with these?

A cat back means everything behind the catalytic converter. It includes a Y pipe in and two mufflers. In the stock system the Y pipe bolts onto the cat and each muffler bolts onto the y pipe. Those are just two mufflers, they're not a "catback exhaust." It doesn't look like they'd bolt onto the stock y pipe. You'd have to cut and weld them on.
To be frank I wouldn't go with those mufflers. They're quiet loud. That said there are a fair number of people who use something similar.

ok here is what you should do. right now you have 3 cats and 2 mufflers. what you should do is unbolt the 2 precats (and cut off the flange) and leave your main cat. run a pipe (weld 2 of the flanges from your precats) from your exhaust manifold to your main cat. then hack off your 2 stock mufflers and weld the ones you want on. by removing your 2 pre cats you increase the flow of your exhaust along with the mufflers. now if you want to remove your main cat buy a racing beat presilencer its a little pricy so i would stick to the main cat
