I want to get a Magna flow Catalytic Convertor with either a Borla, Magnaflow, Pacesetter Cat back exhaust.......which exhaust should I get?  where do I find MIL sensor emulators to take the place of the second O2 sensor?  Will dong this fail me on emissions testing?

I wonder if it makes a significant difference which brand you pick from those mentioned, as far as performance is concerned. There's a dyno comparison of exhaust systems on Focal Jet. I've got a Magnaflow & I like it. I think it sounds good, albeit I wish it was just a little quieter. I could always add the resonator, I guess, but as of now, I have no plans to do so. I've had Borla exhausts on other vehicles I've owned & they were excellent. I have no idea about the sensors.

I would recommend either a Random Technologies or a FC hi flow cat.

Also any stainless steel exhaust should be fine, don't get a pacesetter one.

If you have a hi flow cat you won't need a O2 cheater and yes you will pass emission tests.

I have my original Cat with Borla 2.5"...I love it.  Easy to install, great quality.  An air intake would be of great use to help get the air in...
