Default LT/ hi flow cats and emmisions?

Hi,

So I want stainless LT headers, and I already have a GMMG muffler.
I will proberly get a custom y pipe made up, (cheaper than getting one shipped) but I need to keep it road legal.

I live in the UK, and I believe our emmissions are 0.27 / 0.3 C02.

1. If I add cats, what would my perfomance gains/loss be?
2. If I add hi flow cats what would my emmisions proberly be?
3. And am I right in thinking hi flow cats are nearly as good (performance wise) as no cats?


Thanks for the help

you will probably need obd2 cats. Which are made for 1996 and up vehicles i believe. Magnaflow makes some really good ones i believe they are called carsound cats also. You can also have yout y pipe made so the cats are removable so you can pop them out when you race or whatever.

y pipe made so the cats are removable
Hmm, sounds interesting, are there problems with leaks and ground clearance.
How easy are the cats to remove?(Asuming I got removable ones).

Anyone have answers for the other questions??
