just buy from whichever site you find the best deal on
i got mine from partstrain.com, it was $10 cheaper. btw, it doesn't actually say high-flow on the sites, but it is, don't worry.
The price on the Magnaflow Direct-Fit for my 2004 Civic Si is $315.88 @ partstrain.com and I cannot find it at summitracing.com.

dang i keep forgetting that not everyone has a 92-00 civic. yea, my bad, it's the 92-00 civics whose cats are so cheap. in your case i would get the universal cat and get it welded on and stuff. unless you have a bunch of money.

I am not too good at welding, and havent done it in a few years. Is that something I could take to a garage?

yea a muffler shop should do it.
i took my exhaust to get modified to fit my Del Sol though and my local muffler shop didn't do welding, only exhaust clamps... strange. they take the two pieces that need to be welded and take one of them and widen the piping so it fits over the other piece of pipe. then they clamp it down. idk, works just fine though.
the catalytic converter should probably be welded though.

Eh....scratch that. I will buy the exhaust this Friday, put that in....and save and buy the Magnaflow Cat. I don't need an inspection until Nov, and should be able to get the Cat early next month. I have read way too much about doing things a cheaper way not working out.

the section that looks like a cat is the resonator. do not remove that. it's part of what makes the WS2 quiet.

I meant on the Test Pipe. I was going to take out the resonator on the test pipe, and put the cat in there.
