Re:where to get a high flow cat?
I've heard of Car Sound, Catco, Random Tech. Alot.. I believe I am in need of a new one, not for performance, but for emmisions. Do these cat's actually work just as good if not better then OE

Re:where to get a high flow cat?
the one's at mufflertech are cats for larger displacement cars like v8's just flanged to fit our hondas. i believe they are carsounds. i have never had a problem with mine, with the exception of crushing the can on it hitting a boulder in the road. still works...no cel from it on obd2.

Re:where to get a high flow cat?
If your engine is fresh and tune is good, you can pass a 4 gas test without one. OBD2 setups may not agree, but OBD0 and OBD1 are fine without it. Going for a hollowed cat might be a good option for some.
A cheap alternative is a 3" GMC Yukon w/ Vortec 350 cat.... yards aren't supposed to sell used cats, but just tell them you're doing a flowbench comparison of catalytic converters for your engineering project at school, and the cat will never be used. Most yards will play along.
I wholly dissapprove of the cataltic convert, and will never run one. The catalytic converter was a temporary patch invented in the 70s, and has no place on a moderna engine. They rob power, cost fuel efficiency, and encourage engineering sloth by letting OEMs build crappier engines instead of ones that do not need cats. Heavy metal particulate - rhodium, platinum, etc, from the catalytic converter is ambient in our atmosphere. There is a reason that lung cancer is the only cancer we cannot make make headway against, and is increasingly more deadly (75% death rate, FYI).

definitely get a carsound that fits your car. they can be had on ebay for 50. www.car-sound.com for models and dimensions.
