Thank Chico. I didn't see your post. I think it is good enough for me.

Okay for now....

GM part 12498617

Cars not orginally equipped with dual exhaust will need the dual exhaust conversion kit 12498653 (sold seperately) Get this one too. I believe they are for left side install too.

and this one

Is I miss anything else? Will it not hurt my mpg? lol

The cat back won't effect your MPG the downpipe might if you have a hard time keeping out of the happy pedal. If you drive it like a sane person you may see an increase in mpg.

Ok that's great. Do you think I should let exhaust local shop do that because I never done that? I willing let pro do that for safe if I screw up.

That depends on whether your comfortable doing this type of work,bolting the new system is a piece if cake but removing the old rusty system can be a PIA ,it should'nt be too expensive for a muffler shop to R&R your system.Chico(Pops)

There should be a hole with threads called a "bung" on the aft side of the catalytic converter.

Are you looking for a 3" down pipe or just stock parts?

when you get a downpipe you get rid of the ubend delete... unless you get a shorty but that isn't a shorty

There are no special brackets required to make the rear GT bumper fit on an SE. The only thing I noticed in doing the swap was that the splash guards in the rear wheel wells were slightly off and didn't fit exactly right. They still work though.
