the standard catylic convertor is known to be a source of restriction in most exhaust systems... i'm currently looking into cats as well, and have narrowed my selection to as you say a magic cat or a magnaflow, they've both been pretty well rated. don't expect a 30kw gain on an NA motor though, your looking around 5-10kw (just a general guideline)

i believe that an exhaust note is partly due to the size, as well as the materials, along with the design - a thin tin can style exhaust is going to "rattle" much louder than a thick dense solid well designed exhaust.

it just comes down to what you prefer? weight? sound? etc... its really a factor of alot of things

would be good if everyone could post up their specs here, and we'll all try to seperate the good from the bad.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but if I were to install a high flow cat to my otherwise stock NA exhaust, how much power gain would I get? (everything else stock as a rock) And would the exhaust sound louder and deeper? And lastly how much $ for a decent hiflow cat?

Nothing to be gained by installing a high flow cat to a stock N/A system ( IMO ) unless th one you have is damaged or blocked. Sound would prol be the same too.
