If you are looking for cheap:

As far as which one to go with, they are all good and all of them are higher flowing than stock. Which one is better?

Well, to me, better means easier install and better fit, so I chose the Bonez.

Buy a used ss mp off the net then have Meineke weld on their hi-flo cat for $159 installed - costs $259 for new hi-flo cat - cheaper than buying new Bonez or n-tech. the part number on the cat from meineke is the same number for the bonez cat.....I wonder who's making some money off people???

Or be even smarter and buy a good used cat from someone who lives near you. The stock 3rd gen cat flows very well. I saw a dyno and it compared a stock cat vs a random tech. hi-flow cat..(600.00).A whopping 6 hp difference.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but does anyone know if this is true?

The concern with any cheap cat installed on an FD is how long it will last. Exhaust temps are very high, which is why the FD-specific cats cost more. It's up to you.

I need a cat too, stock is too restrictive for non-seq twins. I have a straight through mid-pipe but id like to keep stink down and have a small buffer against boost creep (wastegate IS ported though)

Yea I figured that would be a problem, but here's the part that I was wondering about:
"the part number on the cat from meineke is the same number for the bonez cat"

If that's true then the FD specific bonez cat isn't very FD specific right?
