Default If you care about the environment get the HF cat.

if you don't, get the test/straight pipe.

Default Every Year, but

I would take the straight pipe out and put the stock cat back in.

If it is too much work, then I will just get the HF Cat

Default you don't really want to have to do that...

just get the HFC... I have one and it is fine, although it sets a CEL on my 2001.

Default honestly, not really that much different, according to the several exhaust techs...

that i have spoken with. The tech that installed my exhaust said that there is no such thing as a high flow cat. Maybe a few flow a bit more than a stocker, but not enough more to deem them "high flow", otherwise they wouldnt be legal.
