Not much difference. It's more about smell/clean air vs cost. Also if I venture into Oregon or cali with it not sure if worth the risk. Lol.

can get these for $1700 total - catless - https://www.lgmotorsports.com/catalog/p ... egory/342/

Or $2100 with cats

With LT the only benefit of cats is smell/emissions. Either one will throw codes because of temperature where the rear O2 will sit.

Really struggling to not pull the trigger.

Well, did more digging around.

Got in touch with another vendor.

Ordered a set of ARH Headers with cats for $2000 total including tax/shipping. Direct from ARH would have cost $2600+

Oh lord. This is ending poorly... :lol:

Not for a clean one. C6Z still look to be upper 30s for a good one. I also don't want a manual so... Rather build out an A6 with supporting transmission and engine mods.

I can create a custom welcome message on the DIC when the car starts - any ideas?
