Opening up a Tanabe a lil' bit

I'm kind of lost and confused around this area. I wanted to ask for your opinions on this subject. I wanted to replace my cat with a high flow one, or just run a test pipe. I got Tanabe R-Spec cat back. I cant find any of the stuff in the stores, people end up telling me that they dont make test pipes for our cars. I know that's BS. So whachu guys think, smart idea to run a test pipe or no ? And yea sometimes I wish my Tanabe is a bit louder. It's just too quiet...
Any comments are welcome

for gods sake please tell me your joking. As far as the test pipe do you have emissions to deal with? If so its not a smart idea to run it, if not i would say go for it. You not gonna really gain anything but sounds from it anyway,

er...i heard getting a high flow cat to replace the stock one would work and pass emissions. Random tech is the brand that makes that catallytic converter, pricey tho.

he wasnt talking about getting a high flow cat. And yes Random tech is right now the only place you can get a high flow cat for our cars.
