i am still looking at different exhaust systems... does it matter what kind of cat converter i get?? i have seen some on ebay for as low as 35 dollars... is that a deal or am i gonna be having problems with it?? i also saw a obx part # CAT104, and it has a lifetime warranty... is it better to just pay the extra thirty and get the obx one or should i keep looking??

Just read the fine print. "for off-road use only" Don't get caught. Usually because hi-flow gives a louder sound and it doesn't pass emmisions test. If you purchase a catback exhaust, you won't need to replace the cat. Unless you decide to purchase a system that starts from the header to the exhaust tip.

exhaust system + hi-flow cat converter = deeper exhaust tone, a little louder, noticeable performance gained.

is it necessary to buy headers to feel a difference??

if you have stock headers you are robbing the system of its full potential.

Invidia Exhaust System, JDM angled exhaust, Super N1 Design, sounds very nice.

i think it depends on wat state ur from. even in new jersey u can have a high flow cat and u will pass emissions depending on the car, and NJ has strict emissions and sound laws. and yea R34 invidia is a sick exhaust.
