Cat. converter

[2001V6Power]

Okay....curently i have headers, borla cat back, ram air, whisper lid, msd wires, and air temp module. Now that being said i want to install a performance cat converter. What I have read you need to at least have 50,000 miles or it won't pass cal smog. Next, question would i lose low end torque because the way my exhaust system is . Help me because I want to know what should I do. [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

read about exhaust in the modification encyclopedia http://mods.firebirdv6.com/intakeexhaust.html
I highly doubt you will loose torque unless you ran without any exhaust

I have never heard about the cat or car needing 50,000 miles in order to pass smog with a high flow cat converter...

If im not mistaken i'll assume you're talking about a law that some states have where you can't change you're cat until you have reached or surpassed 50K miles, and no i've never heard of anyone losing torque w/ a high flow, but wouldn't you gain more back pressure since you'll have more crap blocking you're exhaust passage ways, id say gut you're cat but you're in Cali and i don't think thats a good idea with all the emmisions stuff you guys have just my .02

FEderal Law prevents you from changing your cat if the original has less than 50,000 miles. If the cat becomes damaged in that time you must take it to a dealer to get it changed out for another OEM one. However, there are many exhaust shops that don't seem to care.
