i would do as much research as possible. some 'hi flow cats' throw check engine lights, some dont. some work better, some are legal, illegal, etc.

Random Tech is a real cat, not a test pipe and will not throw a CEL.

could i just get a o2 sensor simulator?

Yes but you will probably not pass emissions if your state tests.

Megan doesn't have a cat it uses a resignator.

so what are the benefits of having a high flow cat, louder? more hp?

 
Rep Power: 333

same purpose of installing any other exhaust part. more power, air flow, larger pipes if neccesary. and yes, it could make your overall sound stage louder since theirs no restrictions besides a resonator on the catback. but if your running an hi flow cat and straight pipes with no resonator to the muffler, then its gonna get loud

^ you would, but probably not much

im thinking of getting a high flow cat, right now i have an aftermarket header and cat-back exhaust. would a hight flow cat bolt right up with this setup? my car is an ex

Yes sir. You will notice increased mid range and high RPM power.

im a little confused, whats the difference between a downpipe and high flow cat? are they the same thing?

 
Rep Power: 0

Downpipes are for turbo applications. They are attached to the exhaust discharge side of the turbo and usually attach to the exhaust system of the car.

A high flow cat is a high flow catalytic converter that converts unburned exhaust gas to safe elements and water. Cats are typically found on OEM downpipes and on all production vehicles, but are typically restricting. Hence why people want high flow cats. Less restricting.

I have a megan downpipe and I'm fairly happy with it. Faster rpms, higher rpm power, and more of a kick when vtec clicks on. I did this trick and have yet to get a CEL in a month and half. Although up here they don't do emissions tests YET. You will most likely fail with the fake high flow cats. Get random tech if you want a true high flow cat. BTW I've only noticed a small change in exhaust smell and it's very rarely that I smell it too.
