    I alot of people get the high flow short ones. That's what I'm getting when I do my headers in the future.

    MagnaFlow 94109 - MagnaFlow Universal Catalytic Converters - Overview - SummitRacing.com something like this will work, but you may need to tune for post cat 02 sensor codes because the sensor will see tis flowing more then stock. if you dont have visual CAT checks, just delete them and get the codes tuned out

    Magnaflow makes high flow cats. On our car, I went with the Kooks catted Y-pipe when I did the exhaust.

    Jeff, with the cats do you have a rasp sound around 3,000rpms, I put on resonators instead of the cats but have a rasp coming from the y pipe area at that rpm, the Magna Flow sounds bad ass in the back but I hear that and don't like it, considering putting on Magna flow cats, but if the sound don't change no sense in spending the money

    No rasp at all. Sounds great both through the muffler or with the cutout open.

    I think the cats will help if you have any rasp without cats currently. I know my car can sound pretty raspy when the revs come down from about 3k. My car doesn't have cats and has a Magnaflow exhaust. I love the way it sounds otherwise.

    I agree the sound is awesome but that sound has to be no cat issue, I will leave it for now but pretty sure over winter going to put high flow cats on, need to replenish the T-A account it's looking a little dry

    Man I LOVE the way mine sounds now. Would hate to ruin that in any way. Which is why I plan on finding someone that will take a lil more money than check my car thoroughly. If I have to get em, obviously I will but man I hope not.
