Default High Flow Cats

What high flow cats do you all recommend? I'm getting tired of the smell that comes with running an off-road Y pipe.

I would just get some metallic spun high-flow cats. I know Magnaflow makes some, and SLP makes some high-flow cats.

I know what you're saying, I just added some magnaflow hi-flow cats for that very same reason. They work great, and definitely took care of the smell! The car sounds much better IMO too, much less rasp and drone, its a "cleaner" sound if that makes sense.

I run Vibrant Race Cats. They are 300 cell spun metallic cats and they are great.

That I do not, I bought them through a friend who works at an exhaust shop so I never saw the part number. Hopefully someone else who has done something similar can chime in.

I was wanting to clean up the smell issue to! I have magna flow stuff now so maybe just go with them. The only reason I haven't done it yet is because they told me as low as I sit I would drag them on everything. But from the pic there is now way they sit lower then my E-Cut out.
But I love the sound now!!! Hope it doesn't change that!
