nice, do as much of the exhaust as u can afford. well worth it.

and also - the cats are usually located as close to the turbo as possible because they only work from a specific temperature (read: HOT).

APS use quality steal core hi-flow cats - they flow just as well as a straight pipe - with minimal loss

Yeah, I use big hose clamps on my heat wrapped dump pipe. Been like that for a year and a half now. No problems

^^^^^ or if you can get your hands on some stainless bandit clamp gear (strapping) you would be set but that would be a whole lot easier with the system off.
