Alright, thanks guys. I'm not too worried about the finish of it. So I don't think ceramic coating it will be necessary. I've considered getting the high flow cat with the downpipe too but I don't want it to throw the O2 code. I don't know of anywhere around here that can delete it from the pcm for me. If I decide to get it I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

'04 Monte Carlo SS - ZZP Downpipe
I actually cut open my old down pipe before sending it back. As far as the construction of the stock down pipe, I found everything ZZP said to be true (a little tighter on the inside because of being double lined steel and such). If you are not doing headers, I would not hesitate to doing a down pipe with all of this.
I actually did the downpipe before the PLOG and I noticed a little change for the better and it became another supporting mod to a bigger picture.

When it is bad. There's no real set time, all depends on how the car is running.

Unless you are upgrading to a performance cat or the cat fails, leave it alone. I know factory cars that are still running with over 200k on them.
To my knowledge there is no maintenance or recommended cat replacement interval.

i also agree there is more to a downpipe then just getting a highflow cat and u bend delete. the factory downpipe is the worse part of the exhaust, if your not changing the downpipe dont bother with the plog. and if you decide to get a downpipe as well then at that point just buy headers.

I installed a ZZP powerlog on my Monte Carlo SS Supercharged,
& I installed a ceramic coated cross over exhaust pipe & a down pipe with a high flow cat with a u bend delete..
