here's a stock pipe for reference.. Looks like it will fit... i still think the Sc430 pipe looks thicker than 2.25..

I ordered it last week and it was shipped out yesterday, so I should receive it sometime next week. I'll post more info on the fitment after I've received it and [hopefully] installed it.

Are you referring to the ones that are supposed to replace the cats coming off the headers? I was considering those as well, but I was going to order the PPE headers before I went any further upstream with the exhaust work. You might be able to ask some of the SC430 cats though, I'm pretty certain I've seen at least one or two threads where they were installed.

Yeah... I received the piece on Saturday, however it didn't include any bolts/gaskets. I went ahead and ordered some replacements and will get it mounted once they've arrived.

I purchased it through tunersimage.com. But, for the price I paid vs what I've seen it go for, I'm not really stressing the hardware not being included.

None yet... I had to have the parts mailed to my APO forwarding address, THEN shipped to my APO address from there as the company doesn't ship to APO addresses themselves. Ahhhh the joys of the miltary

No updates as of yet, still waiting for the hardware... Never realize how much you appreciate Home Depot or Lowes until you don't have access to them lol.

As for removal of the resonators, I'm pretty sure taking them out will change the tone of the exhaust. I won't be changing mine anytime soon as I like how they match with the Borla sound-wise.
