High flow cats are a little over rated, I personally would not waste my money on one if all you are going to do is bolt ons. 7-10hp maybe and probably not, more than likely you will see about 5-7hp from that. Do you have a header on your car? If not then that is something that you should consider soon, the catback will not be able to free up as flow if the header is still restrictive.

I would say do it yourself, it is not really that hard if the exhaust is the right one.

yea if you have the right exhaust, all you have to do is take stock one off the rubber hangers and hang the new one up and bolt it up with the screws and gaskets that should be included with the exhaust.

not bad deal.
Hondas cats flow damn well really and upgrading to a high flow doesn't do anything really.
If your cat is dead then order up a catco or random tech one smog legal and higer flow. but if your cats healthy dont bother
