Default High Flow Cat Instead of Test Pipe?

Are there any decent high flow cats out there for the S2000? I feel a little bad about the environmental impact of running a test pipe, but if I put new headers and a new catback on I'd like to free up the cat some too. Has anyone found a decent high flow cat?

One of the things I love about my 06' s2k is how clean it burns fuel.I have been getting incredibly good gas milage and the exhaust pipe never even has soot on it when I wipe it.My C6 always had black soot all over the ass end of the car and the pipes were filthy everytime I'd wash the car.I believe everyone needs to care about enviromental impact if we're gonna clean things up.No test pipe thankyou,its bad enough I burn fuel for fun without making it worse.

You care about the environment, when there are 1000 of jets in the air everyday burning off jet fuel?
Where is the cat on those?

He is right, the Random Technology is the only cat I know for sure will flow more than the stocker.

RT used my cat to make one for the S. It turned out that our cat flowed so well they had to make a 4" model to flow enough better to be able to legitimately claim theirs was better.

That's what I like about RT, they were concerned about legitimatcy instead of just claiming a higher flow.

Oh no... hopefully this won't turn into a post like another one not too long ago where it had to be locked cause people were throwing sh*t at each other because of the test pipe.

So how about those RT guys? Any gains or anything from their cat?

Jets also carry a lot more people than a car can, so polution per person is a lot lower. Not trying to make an argument about environment over this. I was just asking a simple question
