I bought the magnaflow 2 in 1 cat. My mechanic advised me to replace the pre cats as well. He said why install the main cat if the pre cats could be clogged. Is he correct? If he's right, should I replace the pre cats with new ones or use resonators instead? I don't have emissions laws here, but I would like a quieter sound.

I would keep cats in those spots. The OEM's are expensive so see if you can get some aftermarkets welded in. I think Magnaflow makes a suitable replacement.

Sorry For The Hijack
Sorry, I looked through other threads and couldnt find anything that would help me for this.
There is a small shop that does custom exhausts close to the airport I fly out of. At first I was thinking about just having them do some new tips. I wanted 4 tips, much like the ones on the new nissan maxima. But then I was thinking of having them remove the mid/3rd cat, and then possibly just gutting the muffler, or something like that. There are no emmisions in Carbondale, so thats not a problem. I just was worried about backpressure and low end torque. Seeing as how thats the area I kinda want to improve on. I know it will be loud. I currently just have the resonator removed, just b/c it was ratttling and it got annoying. The noise it currently makes is a low rumble much like the G35's. I just want it to be louder than it is now. Not looking for the rice rocket sound. Its just the car is fast, it jsut feels like the only thing missing is the exhaust tone. Thanks in advance for all opinions and tips |

http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/user.php?svxcess|39693 Dayle at planetsvx.com has them. They fill the opening perfectly! http://svx-motorsport-accessories.st...svxduexti.html My son's car is LOUD. He has all the cats in place, removed the resonator and replaced it with a straight pipe and has a single in_dual out Flowmaster 80 transverse muffler in place if the stock one. I can hear him coming and going from my house for 1/4 mile or more. I hear every turn he makes as he brakes and accelerates. I think a small resonator would mellow it a bit without changing the deep tone he loves. .
