a high flow cat can depend on where you buy it from......if you buy it from catco, thermal, super converter ect. is cat. that looks stock but flows alot better, then there is the cheap $25 "high flow cats" that are basically just resonators. A "Test Pipe" is just a piece of exhaust tubing put in place og the cat. There is a performance upside but a test will not pass emissions. I personally just purchased a new thermal cat to compliment my thermal exhaust and I think its worth the pricea

A test pipe will make your car sound and smell like ass. Don't get it unless you need the airflow like a turbo or high lift cams.

u could allways take a crowbar and bash out the coal or watever is in it and make a straight pipe that looks like a cat but that would be illegal
