Default Best Cats?

I am going to buy a used set of headers soon, if I can find any... And most have an ORY, since I live in Cali I can get busted pretty bad for not having cats, so I'm thinking that I need to buy some to have welded in. Pretty much the only ones I have found are the Random Tech cats, how are these? Are there any others? Are there any that come gutted? Thanks a lot!

I've got 3" Carsound Cats, 94 series. Each flows about double what the stock cats do- so I'm happy.

They can be had pretty cheaply off e-bay as well (brand new). Mine were $112 (for both) including shipping...

ORY stands for off road y-pipe, a y-pipe without cats.

z28hokie-I forgot about those, those are very cheap, the Random Tech ones are $369 for a pair of 3" ones

Carsound and Magnaflow are made by the same company, and likely are the same. Those and the Random Tech are the two you see mentioned the most around here, as you can't go wrong with either of them.

94's are designed for higher GVRW vehicles- so will do a better job.. I'd suggest them

I have the 94109's...

Were $112 shipped off ebay... (for both)
