I was told by a guy who owns an emissions and safety testing place here in Utah, that if you are caught not having a cat on your car you could get up to a 25,000 dollar fine....sounds a bit extreme but if it were me I would just go with a high flow cat and save yourself the trouble. Like kwanza said unless your cat is currently clogged you won't notice much of a difference. The only way that you would is if you did an entire exhaust and not just 3 feet of it.
