I have a Magnaflow high flow cat. Benefit I saw was a noticeable improvement at high RPM, escpecially when towing. Also, exhaust note is louder. I have seen no downsides unless you don't like either of the things I mentioned above.

+1 , However, I'm on a mission to get people to fill in there sig with the info about their trucks! Granted this is a pretty general question about a 2nd gen, but we also don't know what other mods you may have if any . So come on, get with the program people,

Yes, And you can also get direct fit with y-pipe and all, and don't have to dick around with cutting and welding.(well maybe welding if you want to do it right)More money of course. But it's your call.

Then the cat only is what you want. Just make sure the Y-Pipe is in good shape.
