Since you were buying the GoWesty exhaust you should have considered adding
the their CARB cat. It is discounted as part of an exhaust system purchase.
That Cat is also made by Magnaflow. The CARB approved Cat has a much larger
core in both length and diameter and makes a noticeable performance
improvement over all the small inexpensive ones. If you still have emissions
testing especially with the Dyno the small cat will likely fail in 30K or
less. The large one is warrantied for 50K.

Thanks for the feedback. Based on price, and reputation, I ordered the
Magnaflow. I got it for $80.82 shipped from Advance Auto Parts with an
online coupon code. I just couldn't pass up that price. On one side it will
be attached to a Magnaflow muffler, and on the other a stainless exhaust,
both part of a GoWesty exhaust on sale this month.
