Default Which hi-flow cats to get?

What are the better hi-flow cats to get? I was looking at the Magnaflow SPUN cats from Jegs/Summit. Just wondering if theres anything better, if not maybe ill just start saving up for some Kooks LTs+Catted Y or ARH+Catted Y...

I need the cats to pass inspection, the place i used to get it passed no longer does inspections. So now im forced to look elsewhere and everyone else seems to be strick.

This is what I run its pretty much the highest flowing you can get and its cheap too. It passed inspections and emissions for me.

I didn't think they did emissions testing in Texas. Is it only in specific counties or something?

^^^ Im not sure how it is throughout the entire state but the counties ive lived in and surrounding areas do emissions. I used to know of 3 places in the last town i lived in but all 3 no longer do them, 2 of them recently stopped as they were doing them last year and thats where i got it passed but now they dont and current town im in. They are more strict on it, i tried 1 place and wasnt passed for no cats & tinted taillights. im just gonna swap back in my stock tails (got tinted lt1 tails on) and get some cats installed.

lol i live in Maryland and i passed emmisions with my current exhaust with long tube headers no cats into an x pipe and drop before the rear axle, and my egr deleted. so just depends on the person inspecting or doing your emissions lol.

^ when they checked your car, did they look under it? Mine seemed to be going great until he began looking under the car lol Then he called me over and told me, get some cats & remove the paint off the taillights (tinted taillights) and bring it back to me.

the places i used to go to never looked under the car. so it always managed to pass and well i put some black electrical tape over the SES light lol surprisingly i guess they dont notice it.

yea he took the mirror under the car but he was talking to the guy who was testing my computer in my car so he never really looked at the mirror lol, over all i just got lucky plus the guy seemed cool and didnt care, i mean he had to know something was up because he had to yell to the other guy to talk over the sound from the car lol
