Wifey use to have one from the App Store very good! Unfortunately I don't remember the name...

Are you looking at going with cats or off road extensions?

Cats are for emission purposes and off road extensions are basically just straight pipes with a bung welded into them for your rear o2 sensors. Really the questions people ask them selves when they are debating if they need cats should be

1) Does your state require smog/emissions tests?
2) Do you ever plan on going FI (SC, Turbo, NOS)?

After you answer those two questions then I can say which is best for you.

Get cats. With HFCs there's almost no restriction, if any. I'm the last thing from a tree hugger, but polluting just for the sake of polluting is douchey and only helps the politicians trying to take away performance vehicles from us.

BBKs are by far the best deal out there.

I agree with this except if you ever plan going FI. Cats have a pretty high risk of collapsing under boost and if that goes undetected you will blow a piston.

This is very true. If it were me I would choose BBK over OBX just because they are a little higher quality and come with cats (I never plan on doing FI). With that being said if i knew i was going to go FI in the near future I would probably consider the OBX stainless ones too.

At first i wanted ARH but the more i looked into them the more I saw how much they were a rip off. Plus after hearing Lil' Nasty's and Kevin's set up my mind was made on the BBKs.

Oh and Monchy here is a quote from a web page to give you a technical definition of what the job of a catalytic converter is

Quote:
Its function is to chemically change harmful pollutants that the engine has combusted in the process of its various starting, driving, power and idle conditions.

Monchy, I'd highly recommend the bbk ceramic ones with high flow cats. Although after, you'll need a tune if you want to remove the cel. If you're looking for the best deal, I'd look into auto anything.com. They regularly have 15% off sales so you can get them at the best price then

Found something I don't like in iOS 7. When you set a background/lockscreen pic, it automatically zooms in on the picture so the picture takes up the entire screen, with the picture going "past" the edges of the screen slightly (so you can get the effect of the picture moving when you tilt the phone). I want my pics scaled how I want them, not how the phone "thinks" I should have them.
