High Flow Cat?
I have to replace my old cat because its busted, I'm looking for a highflow cat that fits a 97, but it looks like there aren't any that are a direct bolt up.
I remeber other companies used to sell aftermarket cats for us. I can't find them anymore, whats the deal?
Thanks

WarpspeedPerformance sells them (high-flow and metallic substrate), Redlinemax.com sells them (Magnaflows I believe), CustomMaxima.com (RT and maybe Catco), eBay (genericos that most people wouldn't recommend since they have no catalysts lol).. I believe those are your choices.

in one of the group deals i got the Warpspeed Y , and the Magnaflo , Hi-Flo Cat ....
at first i only installed the Warpspeed at home due to rust on the stock cat. The Y was great. then i went to a mechanic i know good thats cheap as hell to replace the cat. seriously, once the cat was on, the y-pipe performed better. at that time i had frankencare short ram intake, stock b-pipe and stock muffler. and i felt the tiny difference with the Magnaflo and i appreciated it.
recently though my muffler conked out...although a lot of people say they pack a punch behind their stock muffler with no problem, i think backpressure caused the Hole i had in my muffler.... so i went out got a Cattman muffler, and custom b-pipe (2 1/4 inch) with stock Resonator for quietness.
IMO : Get the Magnaflo....but save up to change your cat-back
btw: i am a '97 and i got the Magnaflo thru Warpspeed

sorry nmex, jus been defensive a lot on the org, it got that way man.
nah, the stock b-pipe is 2 even i believe. so i went a little bigger, but not the full 2.5. my other friend with a 97 max also got 2 1/4 but his is straight piping, no resonator and he still is VERY QUIET and very quick.
