Default high flow cat over a test pipe

I plan on purchasing a high flow cat or a test pipe for my lsvtec. I have been searching and it seems as tho a high flow cat is the way too go seeing how I am not boosted or have larger amounts of hp. So far I am leaning towards an OBX Racing High flow cat. What do you guys think?

Random tech is the default brand with our local performance croud. Fit, quality and flow are first rate. They make a direct bolt on for our integras too.

in pa it wont pass inspection with a test pipe, (unless know some one )
but i am running a high flow cat on my turbo teg... really the high flow looks like a cat and the test pipe jus looks like a reg pipe almost, im sure theres a little better flow with the test pipe but dont take my word on that... i mean if your not going insane hp and stuff then just go with the high flow cat...

If you have to pass emissions, then get the Cat...if not, then get the test pipe. Either way, you're not really going to see much in the way of power gains...

Not sure how much SMSP charges but you could get a high flow cat from him.

That would be my suggestion.

Better flow than Random Tech, and less expensive too.

That, "OBX High Flow Racing Cat" is actually a test pipe. OBX doesn't make a catalytic converter.
