Cat recommendations...

I was looking at these... anyone have em? anything to say about em?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/3-FLO...spagenameZWDVW

then of course there are the magnaflows and the random tech cats...

basically i'm asking because my car is in the shop right now getting some stuff done to it, i.e. LT's, ORY, CAM etc... and i'm sure it's gonna be really loud when i get it back considering i also have the SLP LM1 as well..

I live in AZ and i'm not really sure what emmissions/noise laws are around here as i recently moved here and just don't want to get a ticket for either...

I'm also thinking of eventually getting a classic chambered muffler on as well down the road depending on how quite these cats make it...

gimmie some input

I use to run the carsound cats that magnaflow makes 3" in and out they worked flawlessly. I ended up gutting them and wished I wouldn't have, it made the car even more loud...

Setup is a X pipe to 1 chamber flows dumped
