Question about cat... or lack there of.

Question about cat... or lack there of.
Here is the honest deal. My catalytic converter is shot. Smells bad and all. I have no money in my pocket right now so I'm going to have to borrow some to get something put in its place.
I hate borrowing money so I want to keep this as low cost as I can for right now and just get the job done.
I am guessing from what I have read and what I’ve seen on eBay a test pipe will be the least expensive thing I can do.
No shop in my town will touch a test pipe for me... So it looks like I'll have to try getting to it myself with an F***** up shoulder.
My questions are, until I have the money what test pipe would you recommend? And are there any that will give you a place to screw in the rear o2 sensor? What size should I get?
Car specs: 1996 240sx (of course) with the stock ka24de.
And it's going to be louder than I like isn't it?

you could try the classified section, on here and other forums, you could probably find a stock one for cheap or maybe even a high flow for cheap....
these guys have some pretty good pricing on cats and test pipes, some more decent prices

I made my own with the help of my buddies welder/grinder.
We cut the flanges off the old catalytic converter, went and found a spare piece of piping at an exhaust shops dumpster and welded it together. Some exhaust gaskets from the autoparts store and i was done. If u need the spot for the o2 sensor u can also just drill a hole and buy a bung from the autoparts store.
When mine one all said and done it looked awesome. As good as any i've seen on the net.

A day late.... I bought a test pipe off of ebay yesterday with the factory o/2 sensor bung. It was the lowest cost that didn't look too crappy.
I love the look of the catco though. I think as soon as I have everyone payed off I'll get the catco or maybe one of the magnaflow (only because I have a magnaflow/flowmaster exhaust).
