Default Cats for x pipe

So I made a mistake and went with a non catted x pipe from kooks, the smell is too much. Can anyone tell me what cats would be similar to what kooks uses? Size and dimension wise?

they are 3", many vendors sell 3" hi flow cats. you'd have to get them welded in between the upstream and downstream 02 sensors on each side. personally I'd buy the one from kooks and see if you could sell yours.
I have no cats and don't mind any smells.....was your car tuned?

Tell her...because "race car"
Lol my wife likes the smell of petrol.....
I was initially running rich and was retuned and leaned out using wideband with lambda. The smell is virtually gone
