I was talking to a good friend of mine who has been in the exhaust business for over 15 years and he told me that the High Flow Cats are a joke. I was telling him about my exhaust plans and he told me that unless something is wrong with your catalytic converter that exchanging it for a so called High Flow cat was a joke. He says they are the same as a regular cat. He said if there is any increase in flow it is only because the cat has a bigger input and output port. He said this is why they meet all the emmissions requirements. Anyway I really trust this guy so I am going to cross High Flow Cat off my list for upgrades.

Re: Hi Flo Cats are a Joke!!!
i dunno my magnaflow looked like you could see right through it.
my stock one on the other hand looked completely filled.
plus my stock one was all busted up inside and rattled.
either way a high flow cat is typically cheaper than a stock replacement so...<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2265676\" target=\"_blank\">95 bright red camaro 3.4l</a>Comment

Re: Hi Flo Cats are a Joke!!!
there have been many many flow tests published in magazines and by the manufacturers themselves, proving that hi flow cats are indeed superior in flow. They flow more cfms than the factory piece. an exhaust that flows more air is an exhaust that will make more power. your exhaust guy seems to not trust new technology...Phill<br /><br />95 camaro... need money for turbo project... <br />94 S10 Blazer - winter beater - infinity system to be installed soon<br /><br />\"The man who says it cant be done should not interrupt the man doing it...\"Comment

Re: Hi Flo Cats are a Joke!!!
I just installed a 3 inch catco and 3 inch s-pipe the other day.
VERY big difference over stock on power, frees up so much. Stock cats are good, but dont flowquite as well, and of course after u get like 70k on your car theres no point in buying a stock one.Comment

Re: Hi Flo Cats are a Joke!!!
