Bolt in down pipe?

Does a company sell such a thing? I saw a few years back, a member made a custom pipe from the headers to the resonators that deleted all cats and was straight bolt on. I would be very interested in purchasing something like this if it existed.

If not, what is the cheapest solution to deleting all the cats, just cut and weld straight pipes?

LOL either way i think Mid pipe is a better term .... down pipe would be coming off a turbo ... which our cars don't have ... also .. correct me if I am wrong but the headers have a cat in them as well

Pipe with the front cat bolts to the stock header and is not a part of the header.

I made that per customer request and have that setup hanging on the wall at the shop. It is a constant reminder that all removing the cats did was make more noise. On the dyno and at the track the setup traded a little down low tq for a little top end hp. I always thought putting in an x pipe would make it a little better. But never got around to it. So if you want a car that is as load as one with headers with the same power as stock. The car did have a secondary cat delete with an x pipe before this so not quite stock.

I have bought from GT-pro (www.ronalsales.com) what you are looking for. It is a down pipe and an x-pipe. It replaces both set of cats. I did have it dynoed before and after and it did give me a little over 10whp. I did not do it for the hp gain but for the sound.
It is a perfect bolton and nothing needs to be cut.
I am thinking of switching vehicle so I may be inclined to sell my set up and put the car back to stock. Let me know if you are interested

Fluid Motor Union was working on one before. Not sure what happened to the project.
