midas brand high flow cat?

the guy at midas told me the only thing that would flow higher then this would be a drag racing cat? if you were drag racing wouldent you not run a cat?

anyway my question is this. for 100$ is a midas brand cat any good. i am planning on installing pacesetter's new performance v6 headers over the summer. si i want a cat that wont be a bottleneck. but i also want to pass DEQ now. is this a good buy?

EDIT: i just found a place with a magnaflow for 75$

also,our cars have a verry unique flange on the cat that bolts to the tranny to hold it up... WTF? do i need that still?

any help y`all can give would be super

The Midas cat is probably made by the same outfit that makes everybody else's "high flow" cat. Nobody makes "factory flow" cats (except perhaps the factory, but even they probably would replace yours with a "high flow" version).

Midas probably won't install somebody else's cat. At least, the shop here wouldn't ("There's no way we could know if it's the proper part for the application, and by law we aren't allowed to put anything but the proper part for the application on the vehicle.").

thanks! i just founfd a "direct fit replacement" at schucks for 75$ !!!! not a "high flow" but the guy made a good point "even with performance headers your 2.8 is not going to push enough air to bottleneck at the cat"

he has a fiero w/2.8l. also this perticular schucks rules. does this sound good?

Like a Maremont 28925?

Probably the same thing as a Walker 15735 which goes for $100.
