So I've been working 60+ hours lately and been getting back into modding the car.
Always wanted to trash the stock muffs and get a cat back on the car.
So 72Chevman told me about Advance having a sale on Dynomax muffs, (chevman is the hookup for info on exhaust and part numbers).
Well, while I was browing the muffs, Advance also had a 15% off sale on entire orders as well as free shipping on orders over $100.
So this is what happened, This is my pm to Chevman a week ago:

---Promotion of 15% off plus free shipping on orders over $100 ended today, so last night at 10:30 I was scrambling to get them.
I searched and couldn't locate them on the site.
So I typed them in google and it led me to advanceautoparts page.
However, there was no description. So I called up to verify correct muffler.
I made the purchase, $10 off per muffler, however I wasn't paying attention and my order didn't exceed $100.
So I called them up again to cancel the order and add a few items to the list to reach $100.
Well they hold my money for 3-4 days.
So I spent little over $200.
However, I got the muffs for $85, saved like $25 or so on them.
Then they put another hold of $120ish on my account to make sure I have the funds.
So I have $300 out of my account for $85 pair of muffs---

I asked Chevman for a part # for a magnaflow cat.
I was going to go with ZZP but I didn't.
I searched but he gave me 2.5" cat part #s.
So I found a site selling a 3" magnaflow cat, 94009, they are selling it with free shipping.
So I made the purchase and paypal sent me a receipt.
A few days later I checked my account and showed no charge.
When I first went to the site, a chat box opened up and a rep started asking if he could help. So I remembered this and opened a chat to find out what happened to my order.
Well, over the weekend there was a payment error in system and it messed up the order.
Well I also set up a fake order to see some pricing, I don't remember why I did, and I had 2 more 94009 in the cart in a separate order.
I did not process or fill in credit info for that cart. However, for some reason their system got ahold of that cart and decided to process that order.
So customer serviced, via chat, fixed the order so I was getting 1 cat and 1 cat charged to account.
Come arrival day, look what I got for the price of 1:





3, 94009s came!~

By the way, is there a flow direction for the cat?
I didn't see arrows or could tell a difference in the way it should be installed, besides having the lettering read left to right.
