high flow cat

r sum high flow cats better than others? They have them ranging from $9 on ebay to about $100 or more for either Warpspeed or Magnaflow? Do u guys think that there is much of a difference, especially since they dont free up any hp and they r both 2.5 inches and stainless steel ?

go to magnaflow.com and find the direct universal replacement cat...
then visit www.preformancepeddler.com and buy it from there...

i read somewhere that most of the $9 cats you see on ebay are basically just test pipes. since you're in queens you'd have a hard time passing emissions with that. the warpspeed cat for $99 or whatever it costs, is EPA approved. if you need a replacement for your stock cat and don't want to throw down a lot of money, it's a good alternative. I put one on with my budget Y, and I haven't had any problems yet. Passed emissions too. The one i ordered through warpseed on ebay came in a magnaflow box.

yea I basically need it to replace the stock cat, so I dont wanna drop mad bread on it. Thanx 4 the link. Y did urs come in a magnaflow box if its warpspeed? I dont even think they have them on ebay anymore anyway. I think u meant being that I am in Queens I know places to pass inspection regardless. So I am pretty much not worried about the CEL.
