Not to be a Debby Downer or anything but why do you need a high flow cat? Our cars have pretty free-flowing exhaust systems. Unless you're planning a turbo/sc setup it probably wont make a big difference in your power output.

Does anyone know how a high flow cat will affect the sound on the TL? I had high-flow cats on my Rx-7 and it made it a whole lot louder.
No matter how well the rest of the exhaust flows, the cat is the bottleneck on every exhaust of every car that has one. If you were to pull it off entirely and run it on the Dyno you would see a huge increase in power, probably similar to what you get from putting on headers, but pulling them off entirely is a federal crime so I wouldn't recommend it. High-flow cats are the next best thing since they allow your car to breathe but still keep you legal.
