I'm running the 2.5" universal. I'm using the bigger one so I can optimize the y-pipe later and also be able to easily upgrade to a 2.5" exhaust system.
With the SVT we cut the converter ends at an angle to offset the cat like the factory one is and welded the old flange on the front and kept the remaining pipe after the cat that bolts to the rest of the exhaust system. The pipe is 2.25" though so we got a SS 2.5"-2.25" reducer cone from autozone and welded it to the back of the cat. It's a bit tricky getting everything lined up but it fits nice.
There seems to be a bit more grun through the midrange and a little top end. Unless you have access to such tools and can do it yourself I wouldnt recommend it for the slight performance increase vs. the cost of a shop spending a couple of hours doing it. I'd just get a cat back on the car and keep the stock cat. The only reason we did this is because mine got clogged. Hope this helps.

thanks i apricate your response....
im gettinga custom 3" exsust any way and my converters all rusted out any way so i figured what the heck why not just get a magnaflow and put that on insted of a crappy oem ford 1. im not looking for tons of resuslts from it. just something thats slightly beter then stokc with a little bit louder/better sound then stock.

You sound like you have a lot of aspirations for the car being as your only 15 (guessing by your sig) it'll intresting to see if you ever do anything.

Fun to brag that you are 15 with an SVT??
I know one thing you can't brag about... driving alone in the SVT legally!

Be nice. At 15 years old, you all know you would be jumping around like a little fairy to have a SVT. It's an awesome first car and at that age, I'd brag too.
