It depends on which company you go with and don't forget to factor in labor unless you do the install yourself. There's also motordyne art pipes which make good gains for our cars. If I were you I would do more research to avoid making a costly mistake.

Dam homie, you're beating a dead horse with this power duct.

Walk out to your car, pop the hood, look at your airbox, you'll see the power duct, it's even labeled.. It literally requires popping out two pins and you're done. Removing/installing it isn't a big deal.

Linking you to threads means the info is out there. Dig a little deeper when searching and you will learn a lot more than asking questions that can be answered with a yes or no. Since it seems like you know nothing about replacing your stock cats, READ up on other people's experiences. This will help you decide which brand you want, if you can afford it, or if you even want to replace your stock cats at all. Tons of things to consider..rigidity of HFC internals, rasp/noise from hfc/test pipes, emissions in your state.....added smell...etc.. Check out the exhaust threads, there's a plethora of info.

As for installation, call your local shops and get a quote to see how much they will charge you to replace your cats. Or, scope out the DIY threads if you wanna save some cash.
