A couple other sites have some around the same price. But I can't find any cats with a connection to easily connect to the above headers in the link. I'd prefer to do this myself and not drive to a muffler shop. I'm also considering making the connection without the cats. But again, I can't find any connectors that bolt up to the above headers.
Can anyone help?

I think the best two options for headers are the Kooks and CSP headers that bolt to the stock exhaust. With pretty much everything else, you have to do some welding and fabrication or you need to buy a complete system from the engine to the tailpipe which is even more expensive.
And I would NOT go cat-less. Car will sound terrible and you are very likely to get really bad droning when just driving around.
And with budget brands (Speed Engineering, Texas Speed, EOS) they may fit fine but they also might be a nightmare.
I have had Texas Speed headers and could never get them adjusted to where they didn't rub on something under the car.
So even though it makes my eyes bleed, I always go with Kooks.
CSP used to be the best option as you could get them for around $1200 or so with cats. Now, they are closer to $2000.
If I were you, I would just hold off, save up some money and get a quality set of Kooks with cats.
Check out DSP Performance (I think he used to be RDP Store). You can get a set of 1 7/8 Kooks headers with cats for just over $1500. And I think that is also with free shipping (and I don't think he charges any sales tax either). Just make sure to use his promo code of kok12d as that will take 10% off the regular price to get to the $1500. I don't think you can find this anywhere else for cheaper.
