A lot of places are going to shut you down for not having cats! I think that's the main reason why people stay away from off-road pipes...smog regulations suck in some states...not Oklahoma! 
As far as performance, it will be a minimal difference between high-flow cats and no cats at all.
And with those Flowtechs no cats is going to be VERY loud. And a lot of people are turned off by that.
just my $.02

I daily drive my car so putting cats in was a no-brainer because I didn't want to smell unburned fuel. Guess what? I can through these high-flow ones. It's not that bad though but I now question my ability to pass a sniffer test.

I get excited when I smell that smell and then see a TA like 1/8 mile down the road. It lets me know, I'm not the only car enthusiast in the world

yes catted are a good bit more. what im doing is getting ory pipe with my headers and saving my stock crap for inspections, im never in my home state so i only have to get inspected once every 2 to 3 years so the switch should be worth the hastle.
There must be a way to mate some high flow cats with the ory that comes with the header u select or would that just be a waste of money? Im feeling the luv on the responses = )
