In my search for aftermarket exhaust systems your cats look stock but the x-pipe looks aftermarket. In looking at details about the stock cross-over it is a straight pipe welded between the pipes and has a small hole that is drilled into each pipe. That is why they recommend changing the x-pipe. If I can find where I had come across the pics of a stock x-pipe I will post it then.

Almost everyone complains about smell after going catless.I'd save them in case you want to go back,,,,plus they are worth a few hundred at salvage/recyclers!! That is why there is such an epidemic of cat theft at public lots and SUVs. Thieves jump under wit a reciprocating saw and rip them oun in a few seconds and get $150 to $250 for them. Kinda silly to just destroy them!!
