I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with deciding between a pre-fab catback system vs. having it custom fabricated at a muffler shop? I've gone the custom-fab route with past vehicles and have been extremely impressed w/ the price/performance ratio. At the moment I'm planning on simply having a summit racing x-pipe and flowmaster delta 40s installed with stock pipe and tips. I'm pretty sure I can have this done for at or under $300 from a small shop I know and trust. Any input or comparissons with a comparable low priced cat-back system?
Also, what is the diameter of the stock pip? 2.25"? 2.5"? I'm currently at school and don't have access to a jack. When I'm home for spring break in about 3 weeks i can get it up on jack/stands or on the lift at the muffler shop and get a better look...
Also i'm considering having the cats deleted. By looking at a stock photo of the undercariage it looks like there are 2 sets of cats, i.e. 2 cats per exhaust path.

Would I have both sets deleted or just the second set farther back which appear to be past the O2 sensors. Will having both deleted cause any check engine lights? Will just having the second deleted avoid that possibility? Or am I completely misreading the undercariage photo and there's only one set per exhaust path?
Thanks in advance
