What cats did you guys go with?

I'm about to buy a hi-flow cat for my exhaust. Which ones are good and which did you guys go with?

I've heard about Magnaflow. Are there cats any good?

There's a Magnaflow shop here in sac. I think I'll go and check out there prices for the carsound cats. Do you know how much they go for? The price is what I wonder about.

Hey Johnny,

A flange allows you to bolt up and mate one end to another.

Where at in Sac is the shop at?

Also, I was lookin at the racenet site and the cats were described as being made for 93-95 years, could I use them for my dual cats on my '96?

Sorry, I got ahead of myself. It's Midas I was thinking about on 16 st in downtown. I remember them having a magnaflow poster on the wall.

The reason I'm going with one cat is because I have a set of AS&M headers.

I would go with a stocker. If you go with a cam later it might decrease your chance of passing smog because of less material in the cat.
