Question TurboXS Catpipe Question

I have stock exhaust and ive been wondering; could i get the Turbo XS cat-less race pipe and it be a direct replacement for the stock cat? my cat is pretty old and i dont wanna just replace the damn thing, id much rather buy a bolt on cat delete pipe and still keep the stock exhaust system. any info?

The TurboXS system is all 3" piping. What this means is that it will not fit in place of the stock CAT without the necessary gaskets. i.e. 3" to 2.5" donut gasket.

fluid motorsports has gaskets, but i dont know how big they are (2.5 or 3 inch)... i bought gaskets at autozone for like 7$, they were the universal ones that they have there....keep in mind when you take out the stockie keep the inner gasket from the header to the cat, you will need it...
