High flow cat is called that for a reason, it flows a lot better than a stock one.

You can gut it if you want, but it will make a bee's dick of difference to your power output, and be 1000 times more illegal.

You ever get a yellow sticker n you'll be glad you got one, I think both you & the workshop who didn't fit it could be up for a pretty big fine. Most reputable shops won't fit a system without one.

if they look under the car and know what there looking for they can.
also blowing flames might give away.

You won't gain much from gutting a high flow cat - maybe 1hp? Nothing discernable. BUT, if you're going to be running anti-lag, be warned that it will cause all kinds of problems to all kinds of cats, high flow or stock.

Animal lovers look away.

I dont think they have sniffer tests in WA. I've had about 8 yellow stickers in my time, and I've never had to go through a sniffer test

I doubt my RX7 would hav passed a sniffer test, not even from 10 metres away
