Default Magnaflow catalytic converters

I found that people installed 53009 (3" tube diameter) catalytic converter. I checked www.performance-curve.com, and it doesn't mention if it is stainless steel or not. Anybody could comment? Also 53006 seems to be a closer pipe diameter (2.25"). Anybody tried this one?
In any case is it only the round ones that would fit, or ovals too?

That one is not Stinless. If you want a non-stainless one:
You probably want the 53006: http://www.car-sound.com/02product/universal/530.asp

If you want stainless, you want the 54306 or the 94316:

That is considering you're going with a 2.5" tube for the rest of the system.

Thanks, I would prefer stainless steel. 54306 is an oval one, 7" wide (vs 5" wide for the original). Are you saying it would fit in the tunnel?
Which one have you had installed?

I'm not sure what's down there now, but I know there's not that much room, so I'd go with a small one or just measure ahead of time if I were you. I haven't messed with my cat as the SFR cat-back is already very loud and I'm afraid it'd be entirely too loud if I put one on.
