From Random Tech's website: http://www.randomtechnology.com/
"In fact, Random Technology catalytic converters actually have a higher flow capacity than many mufflers. As an example, a 3" diameter 9000 series SuperStainless converter flows 502 cfm. Most 3" diameter high performance mufflers flow less than 475 cfm at the same test pressure."
It looks liek the MagnaFlow pieces are flowing 90 or CFM more.

How metallic are the metallic ones? Do they still break up very easily? My car is lowered so as much as I would like to run cats, they only last a few months before I bottom out on a speed bump or something and break them.

Magnaflow also makes CarSound cats which I believe are the ceramic core type. I used to have the 3" CarSound cats on my old Mac Y-pipe and they flowed great too.
