List of current catted DP options for 2014 SHO w/ pp?

Just to reiterate, the PPE are the only ones that can pass emissions. Others need the rear O2 sensors disabled or you will have a CEL. You can not pass with them disabled or with a CEL. Kind of leaves you stuck.
I would either go PPE fatter or non-catted and plan on swapping for testing. Swapping is not a fun job though.

I will probably be ordering some as well. I see a lot of good about the PPE set up, but they are basically $1000 for the catted and ceramic coated ones. Stainless works has their catted ones for $766. Are the PPE's stainless?

I thought the ceramic coating wasn't for corrosion aspects but for the thermal qualities?

The only part that gets hot on the OE pipes, like really HOT is the catalytic converters. Stock is uncoated, and I see no real benefit to coating the pipes, other than looks.
I coated mine in flat black exhaust paint, mainly for looks, as I like everything to blend in on my car.
Good choice on the PPE catted downpipes. I've been running them without a tune for 20,000 miles and the car is completely happy. No CEL and no issues of any kind. Car has a little more rumble at idle and seems to come in boost slightly sooner.
I bought a new set of OEM gaskets from the dealership prior to install and used them since I had them on hand. That being said, they were not necessary in the least. Unless you mangle the factory ones getting them off, they are fine for re-use multiple times.
Per Z, PB Blaster highly recommended. Spray liberally the night before if possible.

My flex coupler on stock pipe is frayed and i think it might be leaking, so might as well upgrade. Was going to do meth but ill wait till all these mechanical things are handled.
Going to have my bud install them, hes a police mechanic and does side work out of their shop, has a few lifts and all the tools etc needed. I want to change my ptu fluid and radiator fluid/swap a 170tstat in as well so hopefully we can get all that stuff done at once.
