Hi,

Unless you want to change it every 2 years, I would stay with the factory original. We have used aftermarket cats before, and every 2 years at emission test time, we have to replace it. Yo get what you pay for!!

Just my 2 cents.

High flow cat will work fine, it'll last longer than the OE cat. I think mine is a magnaflow? Anyway, just Google high flow catalytic converter, and you should be able to find something. You'll probably need an O2 bung ('nut' that'll let you put the O2 sensor back in the line up. Most weld shops can help you.
