Catted Downpipe Question

Hello all,

I recently blew my cat on the downpipes and am looking into replacing them.. I really do not want the headache of emissions issues with catless and plus with my exhaust setup (hpf gen 2) I feel catless will just be obnoxiously loud. My question is if I blew my stock cat with the hpf exhaust, if i get high flow catted downpipes will i just keep blowing cats or will the high flow be able to handle the backpressure better than stock?

what happen to the cats....they broke in pieces and got out the exhaust ?

--- and yes high flow cat will handle better backpressure because the are steel cats versus ceramic ( stock )

High flow catted may not show emissions codes when you fist install but eventually it will happen and you will have to run a very mild sim to pass odbII emissions inspection.
