High flow Cats...

Looking to replace my cat sytem up front with new pipe and 2 high flow cats. Anybody know which ones are good/bad? need to rid the crappy napa stock cat kit i have after i get headers, and to match my rear setup.


also i may be going to cats and running sims. anyone have any experience with them?

I would run a set of Magnaflow cats, i have found the lowest prices at

www.planetmagnaflow.com

As long as you have some sort of cats you shouldnt get a CEL, BUT if you are worried about a CEL you should be able to just shut off the rear o2's with your programmer.

I've been looking into the magnaflow cats lately to help quite my truck down. They even have one with a built in resonator for sound dampening.

I'm running shorty headers, collected into a 3" straight pipe, that runs straight back to just behind the cab into a borla pro XS. There are almost no bends in the exhaust system and its pretty loud behind the truck. I have no complaints about how loud it is in the truck, but my neighbors don't like it at 5:30 am everyday.
