just like the title says:

the muffler shop forgot to give me back my oem cat when they put on my high flow, so now i have nothing to go back to. LOL

are there like aftermarket cat replacements that work just like oem? my high flow cat was good for abouth a month or two and then it threw a CEL. so i just want something that is going to be solid and not give me a cell.

I'd just find someone who has an OEM cat lying around and use just to smog then go back to your Magnaflow. Or better yet see if you can buy one that's what I would do! I still have my stock, that I use only when I smog...works for me...The rest of the time, I am rolling with the highflow!

I'm running a carsound cat and I pass all the time. You just have to make sure the car is warmed up really good. I run mine on the highway to warm it up fast. As long as the Nox level is low when you smog you should be fine.
