Default High flow cat?

I'm looking to get better MPG. Would a high flow catalytic converter and flowmaster 44 help? I'm looking at a thunderbolt 2.5" in/out high flow catalytic converter and a flowmaster 44 2.5" in with dual 2.5" out.

Ways to increase MPG are as easy as a high flow exhaust, intake, proper tune up and cleaning/refreshing of the TB and sensors. Can't expect astronomical numbers but you may pick up a couple. Hey, in this day, 2-3 MPG x 16-20 (spending on your tank size) is still a good gain.
