I bought from 2M Fabrications. Cheapest you'll ever find. No CEL after several thousand miles with their provided o2 spacers. YMMV though as I have seen some people say they've had a CEL.You can find a write-up I did linked below for everything you'll need.

No the supplied spacers are not mini cats. They are simply just angled spacers. I haven't had a CEL come on once yet with them.

The sound is great. Cold starts are *very* loud and usually scares anyone within 50 feet when it turns on. Once it's warmed up it's actually pretty tame (mine is cat and muffler delete). From inside the car it's not that loud even at WOT but from outside it sounds good.
I tried just a regular muffler delete keeping the stock cats and it was just way too quiet. Deleting the cats or getting sport cats are a must on this car in my opinion.

If you have the stock exhaust, your local muffler shop and likely still do a muffler delete. I don't know of any vendors off the top of my head who sell muffler deletes that replace the stock system. The noise difference from no muffler with cats vs mufflers with cats is pretty noticeable. You'll definitely be happier. I just like my cars extremely loud so it wasn't good enough for me.
