Which HIGH FLOW CAT is best for the money?

I'm trying to buy either Warpspeed Y-pipe or Redlinemax's Y-pipe with a high flow cat. Does the cat really improve HP and still solve emission problems? I was just wondering if it'll also make a louder sound and higher pitch. Thanks guys.. help me out.

I haven't seen any actual dyno sheets showing a High-flow cat actually improving power. It's still argued by some that a brand new regular will flow just as well. Of course the best way is chopping it off, but you didn't hear that from me.

For the Y-pipe... Warpspeed, and it will give you a nice gain, in both power and noise. I haven't heard it first hand, but they say it'll increase the noise level quite a bit on a stock muffler. Can't wait to get mine and see how much louder my Ravin gets
