its all up to you, even though you have no emissions testing that doesn't mean you still not contributing to the poor air quality by not having a catalytic converter. To me its not worth the time/effort/gain from it but some like it. But if you see birds falling to their death behind your car you know why :)

street legal high flow cat
that's what i have it's not cheap but in my opinion is your best choice if you already have a header if not go with that 1st
btw where i live there's no emissions either

Which high flow cat did you buy? I'm pretty sure mine is dead since the car drives like shit and everything else checks out.

Thanks,

Jeff

i bought the one on ebay(70shipped)flows really good and my old cat was really clogged, but the other day i was talking tomy mechanic and he said that he's not sure it's 100% street legal that upset me a little but we did agree on that it's better than a straight pipe
there are others that i know of jcwhitney.com sells one, pacesetter has one (pep boys will order it for you)and nopi online or summit.com
look around see what you find
hope this help
