I'm planning to get magnaflow mufflers and now considering getting a hi-flow catalytic converter as well. Are they worth it? Any special brands recommended? I'm thinking of magnaflow as well.

I have thought about doing that as well. The biggest challenge will be seeing if you can shoehorn a high-flow unit into the existing exhaust or if you will have to relocate.
Please keep us posted.

I have a high flow convertor with the header. I don't know off hand what brand it is.

I am not sure how easy it would hook up to the stock exhaust manifold. The race header had no place to put it but under the car.

I would like to do this when I get around to doing my intake and exhaust. first thing would be to find a place near you (depending on local emission laws) to mess with the cat and putting in a high flow one. there are alot of exaust places near me that won't even touch my cat cause of emissions.

Basically, in georgia, it doesn't matter if you even have an exhaust pipe, as long as it isn't too loud(most cops don't enforce this either).

That's why i said basically. There's no inspections, atleast around here, so who's gonna know? Anyways, if I buy the hi-flow and take it to a shop, they'll get it on some way? I don't care where they put it, as long as it's somewhere before the muffler.
