High Flow Cat Question

I was wondering if it's bad for the engine if i got a high flow cat that wasn't emissions friendly, and then when time comes to smog, i put the old one back on for emissions. If i do this year after year, will it harm anything in my car?

with those mods you will not gain anything at all. if you had boost or nitrous it may help but for NA your just wasting your money.
