Does length have anything to do with the cat's performance?

In summit, Im looking at a catco cat.

they've got a 3in/3out 14" cat for like 60 bucks.

They've also got a 3in/3out 16.5" cat for 106

Why is there a 46 dollar difference in the cat's if it's just length? It say's there both stainless steel, slip fits?

And the picture show's it with an air tube hookup. Is that a problem since I don't have a pump or tubes off the headers?

Dynomax also has one 3in/3out 18" long, 3way for about 150.

Wrong heading for this post, I really just need help choosing one out of these three.

Thanks,

I could be wrong but when you ordera direct fit they are short 13-14in., I think since there shorter they would flow better because of larger inlet/outlet and the less brick inside.
