I have a magna flow high flow cat and it passed emmissions fine.

Right b/f i went to get the emission test i just took the car out on the interstate and hit vtec a few times to make sure that the cat was good and warm

A good high flow cat should pass emissions (mine only cost $70 brand new)

If a high flow cat did not pass emissions what would be the point of having one????? that is there whole purpose: to have better performance and still pass emissions

oh yeah, im in Georgia so i dont know if the emision laws are diff where you are

I second that. I have a Magnaflow high flow and it passes just fine. Gives you better power output than a hollowed cat, and in many cases even outperforms a test pipe. Sounds a whole hell of a lot better too.

Well a high-flow cat is completely different than a test pipe, and a test pipe will obviously not pass an emissions test. However, there are indeed high-flow cats that will pass testing.

like i said, that is the whole purpose of a high flow cat. to give you better performance and still be able to pass emissions.

the only thing about a high flow cat is that they take longer to warm up than an OEM cat. the catalyctic converter must be hot in order for it to do its job, so before you go for the test, make sure you warm up the car very well especially if you have a high flow cat. warm it up by taking it on the interstate and hittin vtec a few times, that should do it
