Question Kamikaze with kteller catback

This may seem like a dumb question to some people, but can i put Kamikaze headers with http://www.kteller.com/store/product...roducts_id/403 catback piping kit? Will these 2 items bolt together or weld together. The catback piping kit is 2 1/4 and the outlet on the Kamikaze headers is 2 1/2. Also when it says piping kit on kteller it means the full system just without the muffler. Cause i already have a magnaflow muffler


Also anyone have any of these parts for sale?
looking for headers & full catback

I really don't think you should go with that cat-back system unless you're looking to do some sort of custom fitting. According to the website, all the hangers and flanges have to be welded-on and so forth so you'd save yourself time and labor money by buying an already completer aftermarket system (ie. Greddy, Magnaflow, etc). The price is appealing, but it's like tryin to build a house with wood framing but no nails, it sucks. Sorry for the
But anyway, back on topic, the cat-back shouldn't make a difference with the Kamikaze header b/c they don't connect to each other. After the kamikaze DP comes the cat, which the cat-back would then connect to. Your concern, if any, should be wether the cat-back will bolt directly up to the stock cat.

I'm going to have to agree with Al Banks Holla on this one. The price seems cheap but having the hangers and flanges being welded on will cost some cash. So if you're looking to upgrade your exhaust with Kamikaze then:

Get the Kamikaze header/DP combo - Flip your second cat - then Cat-back system. (GReddy or Magnaflow, etc)

All bolt on easier and cheaper than having to weld hangers and all.

These two are both correct on all points. Don't buy a cat-back that requires welding. If they can't fit their own hangers that give me doubts as to whether the piping itself will even fit.

Plus look at the material it is made of "Aluminized Steel" aka "rusting pile of crap". Stick w/ the good companies and get the stainless steel.

we offer complete and welded systems. he choose to link to a do it yourself kit, that many ppl do buy who can weld themselfs. Both in aluminzed and stainless steel materials.

i would suggest a 2.5" Setup to match that of your header to answer the question.
