The best is most likely the Random Technologies High Flow converter.

the best CAT for emissions is the stock one.
the best CAT for power is NO CAT.
I have personally seen an aftermarket 3" hi-flow CAT kill well over 100 horsepower on a 383 cube engine. If you want to confirm this, email me and I will give you the guys phone number who owned & tested the car.

I agree with this.

I agree with this also, but....
ODB, what kind of converter was it?? How could an emmisions legal high flow converter, that obviously flows more than a stock converter, do that to a cars HP when it is allowing more air through the exhaust system than stock??
I really don't want to go calling some dude, so could u answer this??
