Default Catback exhaust/ removing cat/ headers?

Im going to buy a cat back exhaust. Should I just buy every thing after the header or should the header be replaced to? And I want to remove or hollow out the catlac converter. How do I do that and what needs to be done after I do that? Its a 95 gs none turbo.

The law dont matter its going to be over the sound limit any way. I just need to know what to do because I read about somthing with a check engine like coming on or somthing.

Is this exhaust systom with out a cat? I dont see one and it says it has a resonator. Whats aresonator could i hollow it out? Because I know it must be in to make it quiet. And also what happens with the oxegen sincer? I read that it will say check engine once the exhaust is all opened up. I was toled nothing bad will happen. Is it true?

that is a cat-back exhaust... it will attach on right behind the cat... and dont hollow out the resonator it will make it sound terrible, and so will not running a cat, trust me! i did it on my rs and regretted it... i wound up buying a whole new midpipe... just keep ur cat, get an exhaust with a resonator, and call it a day

^^^^agreed. There is no purpose for you to remove the cat, you will see zero gains from it
and it will sound ricey as hell.

Hows it hook up to the cat? Do I need to buy a new cat? Because the one on my car is welded on in place.

And so this exhaust still hooks up to a cat???? To me looks like its the full thing and next thing is header?

no that flange should bolt up to the cat... and if urs is welded on the yes you would have to buy another one, you can buy a high flow magnaflow or something from summit racing
