The drivers side is bad now, so what would you guys recommend? I'm not sure if the shop can just cut this one and weld in a new. Passenger side has a replacement that they supplied.
Also i'm gonna get rid of the 3rd cat, what should i get for there?

Do you have emissions testing in your area? If so, I wouldn't recommend deleting the NOx trap. You may not pass. If you don't, then you don't have to put anything there besides an x or h pipe.

Depends on the emissions testing that is done. Most places with 96 and newer they only do the OBD-II readiness and no MIL codes testing, no sniffing, so any cat after all the o2 sensors won't affect the testing.

Well i took it to the shop and they cant do it for any less than 1000 considering the rust and placement. Im a little forced to go with gutting it and turnig off the rear 02 sensors until i get longtubes
Would there be any noticable performence changes in this?
