Hi-Flow cat & no cat these days are pretty much the same thing. Technology these days was nothing like the 90's.

if your codes are already set, then why would you waste your money. Just go get a pipe put in.

I had a catless DP before on my cobalt, screw going to a shop, just do it yourself, three bolts off the header, and 2 on the catback and throw it in yourself. takes more time to get the bolts undone than anything else. and thats all of 10 minutes lol.I had the codes turned off with HPT when we tuned my car.

If your cat is clogged, why not just gut it out then, save some money, and get the same result. Its not usable clogged anyway.

My cat clogged up on my vibrat exhaust system. so they sent me another one as warranty with a 95 dollar charge. but i just drilled the old one out and ahve been running like that. if you want the cat you can have it for $70. my loss your gain. i have it boxed up already.
