Catalytic Converter

[Aaron Sherrick]

I've been wondering a lot of the same things.  The cat on my 4kq is on the
way out, so that will be another future purchase.  Can you pretty much use
any cat, or does it have to be an Audi-specific one?  Are there any
free-flow cats available for a 4kq?  I have a Stebro exhaust (2.5"), so I
figure a free-flow cat would make sense.  Thanks.
