I'll send a PM regarding prices. As far as the cat/no cat argument goes, there are the good/bad points for each.
Y-pipe w/ the cat + dual O2 ports option:
- seems to be a more reliable emissions solution when used with headers
- exhaust is cleaner, so you're a better citizen
- more expensive (+$220 > than basic Y-pipe)
Y-pipe w/o the cat, etc:
- less expensive ($390 retail)
- slightly better performance (1-2whp)
- no CEL if installed alone (using stock manifolds and precats)
- instant CEL when installed with headers unless O2 simulator is used, and this approach doesn't seem to work for everybody (try grounding it directly to the chassis)
- more pollution, especially if the precats have been removed for headers
That's what comes to mind, there may be other points to make.
