Dear Contour Mod Gods,

I need some advice. I am about buy the sho shop y-pipe, though I still have not made up my mind on alum or stainless. Anyway, while I am getting it installed, I would like to do something about this stock resonator issue.

Sho Shop has a high performance resonator, but it is $120. Does this sound expensive, I mean how good can it be? What are the alternatives that are cheaper (Magnaflow, Dynomax and size/model please)?

One final concern, the reason I am going this route is because I cannot afford a $600 cat back system (Brullen). The shop I spoke with expressed concern that if I want to do a cat back down the road, I should just wait and do it all together. Is this a legitimate concern. I want to try the y-pipe and new res first then do a catback if necessary. I do not want to screw myself by not having parts line up down the road.

Thanks in advance.

Oh one more thing ... what is the current lead time on a Sho Shop Y Pipe nowadays?
