How long does a high flow catalytic converter last?
The truth is, on modern vehicles, the catalytic converter should last the life of the car or truck, given an “average” life of about 100,000 miles (160,934 kilometers). Good thing, too, because this auto part uses rare, precious and therefore expensive metals such as gold, palladium or rhodium.
Can you pass emissions with a high flow catalytic converter?
Nope it won’t pass. If you live in California, I feel bad for you cause you can’t have as much fun. So limited.
Whats better high flow cats or no cats?
There are no noticeable performance gains in using off-road pipes (no cats) over high flow cats. If you go with no cats it will sound a bit raspier (my opinion), and your car will smell (fact). The smell is unburnt fuel, oil, etc.
How much horsepower do high flow cats add?
A stock exhaust might be restrictive to the full power of a high-flow catalytic converter. In fact, a high-flow catalytic converter is ideal for a car that’s turbocharged or supercharged. Before adding a high-flow cat, your car should be able to produce 20% more horsepower than its stock setting.

Changing to long-tube headers along with the required x-pipe and high-flow cats will make for a louder exhaust tone at wide-open throttle but not change the exhaust tone much during normal driving.
