I would say go for the Crawford hi-flows. I got a chance to borrow a pair recently and have to say they are probably the best hiflows you can buy for these cars.
1) Sound great, no rasp whatsoever caused by the Crawfords
2) Build quality is excellent, very clean welds, solid part
3) Come with brackets pre-welded to securely mount just like OEM cats
4) Make nice power, a definite step up from the OEM cats
To the Cronies, yes this is actually me. My account was not hijacked and Doug does not have a gun to my head

You know, the most interesting thing is that Ian himself didn't recommend either the RT Cats or the Borla, but his dyno #s speak for themselves. My intake is going on tomorrow and my car will be nicely loud as-is, not sure if I want it any louder as a daily driver.. especially looking at exhaust gain to price ratios I know what my next mod is going to be and it won't be an exhaust, but I'd love to hear a few sound clips of the cats with different exhausts. I have a vid of mine with just the Crawfords, I have to ask Steve to host it.

You forgot to mention what you thought about John's Greddy exhaust on his coupe. I sat in the back and I thought it sounded very deep, almost gutteral like. Definately noticeable at full throttle. Under normal driving conditions, you can hear the deepness of the exhaust note, but not as deep as mine.
HKS was deep as well. I don't know what it originally sounded like without it mated to the crawford cats. I thought it was louder and emitted a higher pitched exhaust tone compared to the Greddy when Chris really gunned it. I really liked the look of it along with the flamed tips.
Geez, I feel like i'm some kind of exhaust note connoisseur. Enough of this thread...

You need to modify the heatshield or it would vibrate against the frame on the driver side due to less clearance. It's not that big a deal, took me over a week to notice it. I'm taking mine in for the same issue and I'm almost sure that my cats came already bent.
Neff: were you guys inside the shop during the install? I figured Lokey could have bent them without you noticing and that's why you and C-Keith get no rattles.
