Borla exhaust. So which cat should I get ?

[kazevr4]

I just put the Borla exhaust on my 96 VR4 and need a new high flow catalytic converter. Which one do you all recommend ? I've seen magnaflow and random technologies - the magnaflow is quite a bit cheaper. Any input ?

how about test pipe?

I thought about it. I still have to pass emissions and the cat I took off has 100k on it a I had to cut it out so I can't throw it back on for emissions. If I can find a real cheap stock cat to put on for emissions i may go that route.

DR has a high flow cat for $250. Or buy a small muffler and weld the catalytic converter heat shield around it. Thats if its just a visual test and not a tailpipe sniffer. Also theres a bunch of universal weld in cats all ovet the place but I've never tried those.

i liked my r/t cat. if emissions is the key, don't get anything but a legit cat. you're not even allowed to run AM cat...unless the stock one shits the bed.

I bought a Random Technology cat for my car and it's been great! I have it paired up with a Borla, gutted pre-cats and Megan Racing downpipe and it sounds awesome

If the emissions test is just a visual, get whatever cat has nothing inside it. If you're worried about a sniffer test, you could try a dry run with a test pipe. Otherwise, IPD has the right answer. Just my 1.5 cents worth.

Another Random Tech high flow with Borla here. Works and sounds great and passes emission testing just fine. :)
