Best Hi-flow Cat?

Hey, I've used the Helix 3'' Hi-flow cat before, and went to test-pipe. Now I'm thinking about going back to a hi-flow cat.

Can you guys tell me what is the Highest-flowing Hi-flow cat out there? Also, is there a difference in performance between UR hi-flow cat and the Helix Hi-flow and others? Thanks

the best flowing high flow cat would be a gutted stock cat with a straight pipe in it.

No the Helix Cat is Great, but I'm just wondering if there are higher-flowing ones out there.

I like the look and finish of my Helix, but it throws SES light every other day. And I can't do the sparkplug anti-fouler fix because it doesn't fit (hits the underside of the car). Am going to do an electrical o2 simulator next.

helix looks like a good one.

best one is just to by pass all the highflow crap and stick a 3" pipe in there straight.

or you can spot weld the heatshields on your testpipe to give it that "cat look"
