Default High Flow Cat?

How many of you run high flow catalytic converters? I am thinking about taking off my stock CAT and replacing it with a high flow soon.

Was just wondering if those who have one installed have any problems with the check engine light coming on? I have heard that a hi flow CAN throw a check engine light and then have trouble passing inspection.

Any feedback on this?

Also what style/brand would be good for my 98 xj... need it to have a bunghole for an o2 sensor on the CAT.

Thanks guys,

CW

My 97 came from the PO with no cat installed . I put a high flow from www.performance-curve.com in it and it works just fine.

I'm curious about this too. I would like to go with a magnaflow spun cat 2.25 inlet and outlet. They make one with an o2 bung. I'm not sure what is truly considered a "hi-flow" cat though.

Probably because he didn't feel like replacing your cat? lol

I plan on putting a Magnaflow replacement cat on there, with an aftermarket muffler.

Magnaflow makes a good high flow cat for relatively cheap.
