Fast Intentions or Crawfords.

I sell a lot of both.
I personally prefer the Fast Intentions.

Stay away from Kinetix.
Lotsa rubbing/fitment issues.

With HiFlowCats you won't get the tell-tale SMELL like test pipes.
But test pipes will net you higher gains (and a lot more rasp)

Get Random Tech HF CAts!!! I went through the kinetix and my friend had the crawfords... They vibrate on the oem heat shield and it gets pretty annoying... Random Tech has oem mounting brackets which seems logical... Don't know why other companies decided not to put them on... But thats my 2cents...

And its illegal if you change out your cats... Your only allow to change them out if ur stock cats malfunction...

I had Crawfords but the modified ones which did not hit the heat shield and they were great, now I have Fast Intention test pipes which are also great so I would expect their HF Cats to be the same.

I'm not even sure how much they go for used. Make me an offer. I have these on with the Injen cat-back and it's pretty loud (too loud for my taste). That's why i'm taking them off. I'm not sure what the gains are, can't be too much?

It's not hard to do the install... You'll need a 3ft extension to get to the top bolts... My dad and I did it in the garage... It's not illegal if u don't get caught...

Btw, not sure how much your interested, but I too have Injen SES Exhaust with Kinetix HFC, and with the addition of the Plenum Spacer and mREV manifold, it made it slightly quieter, almost like its more engine, but you can tell the exhaust is a bit quieter. I just miss the gargle from the VQ system
