you know that magnaflow sells a pretty nice catalytic converter for like $100?
summitracing.com has it
definitely worth the investment.

thanks for the tip trustdestruction. the problem is the shipping to over here
i think it isn't polluting that much, because is a usdm and running with over here gas, which is mixed with about 25% ethanol.
one thing is for sure, i do noticed and improve in torque without the catalytic.
my best.

it's in your head
you only gain a couple hp and torque by switching from stock cat to a test pipe, and there's no way you would notice that. also, you only gain 1hp with a test pipe instead of a high-flow cat.

and yes, you are still polluting
