My stock big round cat prevented me from installing a DPG belly skid plate, so I had a muffler shop replace it with a much slimmer Catco cat.
I also had a 6" flex coupling put in to isolate the header and head from hits to the exhaust system.
I don't like the idea of a rock hitting the muffler or tailpipe and a long rigid exhaust system multiplying that force many times once it reaches the header and possibly damaging seals. I've heard of headers cracking too, so I think it's a worthwhile mod.
