I thought the XLR8 was the only option? That's all I see on heeltoe, and they undertook vending ATLP parts.

I'm sure there's plenty of universals though.

our sponsoring vendor Excelerate has several cat options from budget to hi-flow with extended tube for O2 sensor,,
otherwise you need to add a shield -spark plug anti fouler- to the O2 sensor to slow and reduce the flow past it- or you freak the ecu out

ck his site www.excelerateperformance.com
or call Josh direct for best advice on what fits your needs and budget

it makes it a lil bit louder but it may make your exhaust really raspy with me that was the case the high flow cat made my exhaust really tinny and raspy and i took it off immediately the next day and sold it now im just running headers with stock cat and atlp exhaust. but if your exhaust has resonator still in it then it should be ok mine did not.

put it on the dyno to see the differance
your butt dyno wont feel 5 hp,,but 40 total,, yes!!
the torque range changes with those mods, so dyno will show you most efficient shift rpm

Yeah, keep the exhaust resonator, but remove the mid-muffler.

you might
UNLESS you add the reducer device -`spark plug anti fouler` slightly modded for our use-
to make the flow rate normal for the sensor
