Well actually, the stock SS/SC cats have been having problems with clogging. And if a clogged cat goes unchecked then you can really endanger the life of your engine.
But to be fair it seems to be more of a GM cat thing and not jsut an SS/SC thing. So swapping to an aftermarket hi-flow cat would be a VERY wise investment. Not only in performance but also in engine-life.

I have a Vibrant one and it sucks. I custom made a downpipe with the stock flex flange and a modified rear flange for a full 2.5" mendral bent downpipe. The Vibrant cat causes my exhaust to sound like a damn honda and throws CEL's all the time. I'm going with the XTC one when I return home.

will you pass emissions with an aftermarket cat? the lame people at m local muffler shop not only told me they couldnt put it on, b/c it would be illegal, but it would void my warranty and i would fail emissions
