Default hi flow cat

Do you guys think this is legit? http://www.autoaccessoriesgarage.com...003&vlink=
I am planning on getting a new exhaust. Probably a borla cat back. But I just wanted to see what you guys thought about this cat to go along with it?
I'm still pretty new at the modding stuff, so any help would be great.

it has no mounting brackets on it to mount to the exhaust manifold or downpipe. Other than that, it will work if you weld those pieces on.

Some of us still have to pass emissions.

But if you are looking for a hfc all made you can get a Magnaflow HERE or just go with the Labree. If you go to HottExhaust then enter in the coupon code "hottsavings" and you can get the magnaflow for $227 shipped.

There are ways to pass emissions with a test pipe. You just use the non-fouler mod. I am going to be doing it to my car soon.

that magnaflow hfc is only 2.25" where if your getting borla exhaust, its 2.5". A shop could make it work, but you should have 2.5" turbo back exhuast. I have a techtonics dp and hfc www.techtonics.com

I just installed a test pipe here in cali. It takes about 1.5 hours so i figure if I cant find a shop to smog it with it in then, swap it out. Definately worth the time.
