Need cats!!
I need a set of cats, live in VA and dont have emissions testing(at least where i am) but its part of the yearly safety inspection.. I have been looking at the thunderbolt 3" spun converters, i already have a set of speed engineering 1 7/8 long tubes to go on.... Already figure im probably goin to have to trim the collector up to make room for the cats.. Would like to use a ball/socket type flange to make removal easier when i put my trans in..... has anyone used these cats before and what is your take on them... Or is there something ive missed comparable pricewise that would be better???

I have no personal experience with them. I have read other members (not in this forum) have decent luck with them.
Why ball and socket and not V-band clamps? Just curious.
Personally, I have had these and love them. Not a bad deal either.

I use a high quality band clamp. I can pull the ypipe down in sections and not have to pull the entire exhaust down and they don't leak.
I use Magnaflow metallic cats....they are about 9in overall length.
Vbands will work like Tig stated.
