Its just cuz i dont like the notion of having something permanent just in case i want to ever go back to stock.

I know what you mean. If you weld in the right position you can swap the O2 sensors from the extension back to the stock position. Just cover the unused bung hole with the caps that come with the PPE kit. It won't look stock but....just sayin'

Any comments on welding high flow cats. I talked to a body shop and they said welding stainless still was difficult (JoeZ is stainless).

Can anyone comment on how to install the cats and weld in the bungs etc?

I'm using PPE Hi-Flows bolted to the headers then welded to the exhaust headpipes.

PPE sells the High Flow Cat too.. that's the one I used.
