high flow cats on EBAY? any body using them? like magnaflow for $63 or flowmaster for $53? i was wondering if they work good because i need some high flows for my lt's! any suggestions! thanks!
I'm using the Magnaflow's, I think they were a little over $50 a pop. The link in my sig shows them installed and the 3rd page shows them in the box for comparison.

Any time you move the cats location (aka after longtubes) makes them illegal in CA. It doesn't matter what's in front of them or behind them as long as they are in the stock location and are OBDII compliant from what I understand.
LT's are only really illegal because they move the location of the cats.
Mine work great, I noticed no power loss after putting the cats into my TD system even with a huge cam spinning it to 6700 on the regular.
If I lived in CA, I'd do whatever the hell I wanted with the exhaust, then swap it out for inspection. It may take 4-5 hours the first time, but only about 3 or less then next time.
I know I can pull my valve covers/rockers/pushrods in about 10 minutes flat these days.

On the website of Magnaflow you see there is some that are OBDII compliant ones and some are not....MINI [small compact] converters will not last and are NOT Compliant USUALLY. These ones do not last long. The larger ones are similiar to the factory ones in the sense that the comb is denser.
Hmm.. I was just about to buy some Random Technology high flow cats at $260 for a pair. Would these be just as good to buy?

ya the magna flow ones you just would by the 3 inch ones that are no specific to any car! But ya i have a guy that will pass my car on the visual as long as it passes on the sniffer side! otherwise i wouldnt run cats and would change back whhen needed to smog! but when he passes the visual then with cats it will pass the sniffer so that why im using cats!
The magnaflow cats are great, I can easily say there dam popular among the V6 crowd. For that price its an awsome deal buy it anywhere else and you will pay over 100 for it. But there worth it way better then stock and good if u have to have a cat.
