At the outlet of the TT downpipe...

I don't think the stock cat is quite 2", but I'd have to measure it.

The one for $100 does not come with the O2 fitting, but if you used an
'81 manifold w/O2, then you wouldn't need it.

The TT downpipe w/O2 is normally $125, it would be $110 under the group
buy.
