Default Cats comparison???

Has anyone done a flow comparison on the various 'high flow' cats that are available???

I have tried searching to no avail and I haven't been able to find any comparison reviews etc.

Thanx in advance for any help,

yeah, there was one done but it was a while back so it's probably not available through the search now. But from what I remember Random Tech and Carsound cats were the best flowing. Carsound is probably the best bet, the flow just as well if not better and they cost less. I was wondering where that thread went.

How is it that Random Tech has the highest flow numbers and the smallest size? The easiest way to make less restrictive cats would be to make them larger.

Thats probably why the carsounds are like 12-13 inches long ... they're HUGE.
