UR high flow cat

I got the ATP kit and I have been doing some serious searches to find what is the best Flow CAT out there that look’s like stock (cops can't tell) and it will flow nice to make my turbo spool better. Test pipe is out of the game because here in LA cops will go down on there knees to check if you have a CAT. I am thinking about buying a UR 3" high flow cat from an EVOm member here on the forums. What do you guys think about it? any better once on the market that look like stock or close and can flow good?? plz help.

I can attest that the UR high flow cat definitely helped me spool my stock turbo by maybe 200 rpms. It's blatantly lighter than the stock cat as well.

If you truly wanted no cat but wanted the stealth look, I think there are vendors that sell cats that are gutted out basically....so it's basically a test pipe that looks like a cat.....then I recently learned theres an attachment you can buy to attach onto the test pipe to make it look like a cat. Lots of options....

Just called them. I have to weld it on so I guess that out of the question as well.

why is that out of the question? All you do is buy a cheap test pipe and they weld on those pieces for you and it looks like a cat heh. Not that big of a job. Or you could always gut out your stock cat....I wouldn't recommend this but it's an option. Or buy a high flow cat like the UR and gut it out and save your stock in case you need it.

just check also if the hiflow cat is carb approved also since changing the cat on a new car can get you issues also just in case the cop takes a look at it.since the only time you can replace the stock cat is when it gets damaged
