Well chances are you won't pass emissions without a CAT...So I'd go with a highflow one.

No way it will pass NJ emissions without a cat. And are you aware that there is a program that sets up roadside emissions checks? They pull cars over at random, and do a COMPLETE rolling dyno check and a COMPLETE visual check. The people staffing these mobile hit squads have all the documentation and knowledge required to spot non-conforming parts.

You could always gut it and put a pipe through it. That way you can pass a visual, if they have one, and then see if you can pass the sniffer. If not, then get a high flow cat.

I wouldn't take any chances. Taking the cats off, or gutting them won't give you a whole lotta hp anyways, so just get the high-flow ones. I gutted mine, and nothing changed. And you probably know that the fines are outrageous.

Long live Florida, the land of no-emissions.

That sucks but they do the same crap in california with that portable rolling test. Just get yourself a high flow cat instead of that test pipe. I see carsound cat's for under $75 on ebay. Brand new all the time.
