Need advice on this guys
Alright so I know for a fact that my cat is clogged and my turbo is getting some back spin which isn't good at all. I need to replace my stock down pipe and my cat.
Do you guys think I should buy a down pipe and get a new Catalic Converter to weld on my old one
OR
should I go for the down pipe and mid pipe to get rid of both cats?

Get a downpipe first and see if that solves the problem. If your main cat is bad, too, buy a bolt-in one that already has a pipe. You can't weld a new cat into the stock "mid" pipe -- you need a whole new pipe.
Watch out for running lean if you have a lot of other mods. Be especially careful if you go with a midpipe (you'll need an ECU and might get boost creep).

I would say go with a down pipe first too and see what that does for you. If your cat is screwed up you can always go with a bolt on high flo one such as the bonez.

I'm voting to go with the dp and high flow cat as well, it definitely helps for smog purposes and keeps some back pressure to avoid the ever dreaded leaning out. Good luck with your decision. Josh

Downpipe for sure, but the Midpipe would depend whether or not you have to deal with emissions testing or not.
