    Catco is the cheapest. I don't think there is a best highflow cat.

          all cats of the same size flow pretty much the same. People call bigger cat's high flow cats just because they are able to flow more than the stock cat. the stock cat has a 3" inlet and a 2.25" outlet, thereby restircting flow. if you were to put on a 3" in/3" out, you'd flow a lot more just because of the larger diameter outlet.

              I am investigating the same thing. Everyone tells me the CATCO 6007, its 3 inch in/out and is only $50. I dont think I would buy a random tech, they are too darn expensive. And for the minimal gains you will see with a high flow cat I think you cant go wrong with catco. I will buy my cat tommarow. I was also looking at the magnaflow cats they look nice.

              Only reason I am shopping for a cat is because I am putting on a set of headers and dont want to use the stock cat.

                  I didnt know there was a 02 sensor in the cat. But if there is im sure my local exhaust shop that installs it would be able to creat some kind of bung for this sensor.

                      Its after the cat right at the first bend of the s-pipe, it does point towards the drivers side.

                            It won't make it really loud, but it will have a good tone blackbyrd.
