Cat Suggestions OK, after reading another thread I realized that I made a bonehead mistake. After I had my Pacesetter LTs installed I ran a 3" ORY. Once it was time to smog I installed two Magnaflow cats. My car is lowered and those cats scraped on EVERYTHING... so much so that I broke the welds in several places (which made a horrible gas smell and the worst sounding exhaust ever). Took it back to a muffler shop that built me a new stainless 3" ORY and put one cat right behind the ORY. I know, I know, I know... I hear this is totally stupid. My question is... who makes cats that are small enough to fit w/o scraping (I really don't want to raise the car back up). Also, does anybody have any ideas on what I should do considering I live in CA??? Oh yeah, the visula smog inspection is taken care of, I just need it to blow clean.

I don't care how they look. Yeah I'm looking for high flow, but I'm also looking for something that won't scrape or take up a lot of room. HOw big are the SLP cats?

your wasting your money with the SLP cats
the new magnaflow metallic ones seem to be the current best bang for the buck
here's some dimensions.... pretty good for flowing between 600~570 cfm
