high flow cat question
ok so my stock cat has a crack and is annoying as hell. before i had a leak there and at my flange after the cat, because my gasket was gone. so my friend welded my new cat back apex exhaust to the cat and said i might be able to pass smog with my cat if not i have to repair it or replace it.
so my question is should i replace it with another oem or a highflow? that is if fixing it doesnt work.
i also heard from another friend that the exhaust heat from my rotary will fry a high flow...is this true?

Which cat?(pre or main?) Is it a S4 or S5? Turbo?
In any case, you need the cat to pass smog. You'll get some performance gains with the highflow cat on a turbo, not so much on a N/A. You live in California like me so replace what's broken so you can pass smog. You can get a universal catalytic converter at most exhaust shops for $90.
