Do all the exhaust companies sell cats?

And does it matter on a V6 application whether or not I get "high-flow" cats?
one is rated at 4,500 lbs and the other is at 6,000 lbs...not sure what this means

If you get the high flow cats, you will get some back pressure, and keep some performance. I believe Magnaflow makes them. Most performance exhaust manufacturers make the high flow's.

Ok, so just to get this straight...I will actually gain performance from the backpressure cuz it's a six, right?

well, yeah, I know. But do our cars even create anywhere near that much exhaust pressure?

OK I'll try, I'll just do it in another manner, here it is, keep the cats because you'll just spend another butt load of cash to get your mid pipe either cut to fit in a new high flow cat or you'll have to get it fully uninstalled to fit in another midpipe with cats, and we're not talking about a lot of hp maybe 1 or 2 hp down low, but I am willing to bet you're going to loose a hair bit up top and you'll loose a little throttle responce, that's just my two cents, see I made a ***** post and made a point at the same time.[8D]

Here in albq you dont need cats. Actualy you dont need an X pipe either. I found true duals, cats and no crossover are the best. Mean sound, and cant smell it, and I have a vert.
