I hear random tech is the best, but I thought they were like $200. Catco is also good and cheaper.

I've asked this question awhile back, but nobody here could justify Random Tech's steep price.

Went with Catco and saved lots of $$$

Hollow cats are good, a replacement pipe is even better. Oh wait, you might have those emission tests where you live.

I'm partial to siamese.

I put a Dynomax 3" high flow cat on my car, and I felt no difference between that and the straight pipe.
