High flow? Compared to what, a set of headers?

Alot of different exhausts. Are you wanting a high flow exhaust? The best "flow" you'll get from your exhaust would to be to get some headers (aftermarket exhaust manifold), a high flow cat (catalytic converter), and a cat back exhaust. Add that with a Cold Air Intake and you'll feel a bit more oomph from your motor.

Ok, so I heard that the stock cat was high flow. Is this correct?

All depends on your preference. I usually go with gloss black, but i like my tuff to be shiny.

Well then satin would probably be what you'll want.

Don't forget the bored throttle body if you're gonna do that much work.

I used a satin rustoleum made for plastics on all my trim, also painted my flares black, over the stock body color, about 3 years ago.. just now starting to show a little fade after this past winter.. held-up pretty good, in my opinion. Also, can is one of those "spray at any angle" ones, which I like.
