I doubt if the exhaust needs any unique catalytic converter. A catalytic converter from a reputable manufacturer will suit your needs.

Find out the exact diameter of your exhaust and proceed from there. For example if your exhaust piping is 2.36" you wouldn't want to install 2.5" test pipes!

AAM, Berk Technology or Fast Intentions is your best bet.

Like some of the people say, as long as the HFC is 2.5", so all the manufacture are the same right? Cheaper the better.

please do more research then. I would pass on FI exhaust. Nothing against them personally just think they made a quick design with expensive mufflers and overcharged the **** out of it. And it sounds like monkey *****. Why do u want a true dual exhaust? And the power gains with just exhaust and HFCs are gonna b so minimal that u should choose the exhaust based on Looks, Sound, Price range

well, the FI Stainless Round Cat Back looks and sounds good to me, i am working on the price right now, looks like HKS + Test pipes is cheaper than FI + FI 2.5" test pipes.

Ive had both BERK and Kinetix and comparing the two - BERKS were louder and felt restrictive still...Kinetix tone it down and I still get the "UMPH" that I want.

Ive yet to try Ultimate Racing - but Ive havent heard bad things about the them either..
