dude if you can afford an apex n1, you can afford the 70bux for a high flow cat.

Honestly it's worth it, they flow nearly as well as a straightpipe,
and sound smooth as butter.

punching holes in your cat WILL make your exhaust sound like ****.

I know this for a fact, because my hiflo has O2 holes I have plugged with bolts,
I needed a new bolt so I drove it a while with the bolt out. it sounded like ****.

Yes, that would be illegal! Exactly why have you modified your exhaust anyway?

Get the hi-flow cats off ebay. They look like cats, but are test pipes, are only $50 shipped, and fit really well
