New Dual Cats or Not

I wanted to know if it is worth getting two new high flow cats for my 89 GTA or should I spend the money elsewhere? It seems like it is worth it if you only have 1 cat but with two it is a decent amount of change for something that I dont even know if it is a good investment. Any help would be appreciated. FYI: I live in CA so I cant gut them or only have 1.

Thanks Brian

Well, since you line in CA and still have to pass the sniffer, getting dual high flow cats might be a good idea. If you didn't live in CA, I would just say scrap the cats and use that money for headers/dual exhaust. Hope that helped.

Cool, I wanted to know that and if it will be worth the money and I will still be able to pass smog. Thanks

Get one high flow cat, and one straight pipe for the other cat..... and it should still easily pass emmissions if you have it in tune...

Are you sure it will pass in CA?
