Default Hi-flow cats....real or BS?

I love the sound of the off road pipes, but I really need to pass emissions and of all the problems I've heard about the FLP's I'm trying to stay away from them. I really need cats on the ypipe, do hi-flow cats really work or are they a waste of money? Thanks in advance.

ok I'm not sure if the majority of people are lazy or what but if you want headers and want to pass smog when needed.......

Get headers, and custom y-pipe.

Keep your manifolds and stock cats, y-pipe in storage and take a day before your test and swap them out then go back to it.... that's what I'm goining to do for my upcoming smog.


As far as high flow vs stock I've never hard any good things said about the high flow cats... if you dig around on this site a little you'll see lots of people saying that they're high flow cats are ****. <img src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0">
