I picked up the white 03 Friday night, signing my life away since the previous owner removed the catalytic converters. I want to get this back to reasonably close to stock so I can get an extended warranty - I still have 16k miles and 9 months or so before the 3/36 runs out.

My question is this I guess - does anyone know if I need to go all the way back to stock to do this? If so, does anyone have stock CCs they can unload for a resaonable amount (since they...er...probably won't be on very long until I upgrade the exhaust)?

If I can 'get away' with an aftermarket solution, what's the way to go? I am probably not going to do much in the next year other than add a K&N FIPK intake and get up over 400rwhp. I was looking at the MBX4603-3 Bassani X-pipe with cats... I haven't searched extensively here like I should have, but I've got 7 days to get this legal again so I can pass emissions and get it registered in state (bought in IL).

I would but the bassani x-pipe w/cats. That will get you past your emissions test and shouldn't void your warranty at all.

I agree, you could buy the Bassani or SLP X that comes with cats and straights pipes to swap back and forth.
