downpipe and catalytic converter

this may be a dumb question but i confused myself so here it goes, right now i have no cat on my car, if i get a new downpipe does that come with a cat or are these 2 separate pieces i need to buy? please help clarify this for me thanks.

Look at the listing, if it says anywhere off-road use only, there is no cat, or a legal one for that matter. You can find them as two seperate parts or a package deal. I would call before placing any order just to confirm or post the link so someone could take a look and give you a yay or nay.

What vehicle is this for? Stock/aftermarket replacement? There really is no way to answer your question without more information.

it would really help to know what kind of car we are talking about

2004 srt4 I’m looking to be putting the stock 2.25 inch exhaust back on but I need a cat and I don’t really know if I would need a new dp as well

The stock dp has the cat on it if you can find one.
