.....  I have information on those "hi flow" cats from europe....  READ:
 Expensive.....  Did I say a lot of money?  Not DOT, EPA or CARB approved
either (as of my info-3rd QTR 95).  So, will your car here in the states pass
emissions with one?  Numbers wise, prolly......  Will it pass EPA,DOT, or
CARB scrutiny?  Thinks not.....  Not sure what the requirements are to bring
one here, but could get real expensive if not done properly.....  For 1500.00
before US import, sounds like a lot of alternative cereals should be
tasted......
