Im pretty sure the connections are designed to fit over a range of sizes...so how big is your exhaust piping on the hot side?

LOL. You've been a member of the forum for about 18 months, and are as I tired as I am with the “what is the best...” questions. I try my best to ignore them.

Helix, hands down. Helix has better material in their cats. From what I know, crawford uses carsound HFCs, while Helix uses a metal substrate cat. Helix will out live the crawfords.

LOL at NISMO cats - they "clean the best and flow the best" - they better clean my HOUSE for the price they are!

All the high flow cats on the market will flow withint 20-30 or so cfm of one another. Pick what is readily available, and what you can afford (and what has a reputation for not cracking, fitting properly, etc)

they do not include 02 sensors...you reuse your old ones

you need to order new gaskets from the dealer - that is all

HELIX...

If and only if you can figure out a way to support them. ie welding or brackets. I used brackets mounted to the OEM flex brace. They use a 200 cell metal substrate. I've had mine on since May and really like them, along with my other n/a mods.

My other choice would be UR high flow cats or Crawford...

Over time the R/Ts break Up inside, and don't flow at all. Crawfords here.
