how about "high flow" cats? I kno most catted-y's come with "high flow". would that change anything? I just want to make sure i have a clear understanding.
I may be mistaken- don't take my word as gospel:

But in order to increase emissions, you need to increase the amount of combustion with more air/fuel- which means you get more emissions with things like a bigger cam, heads, engine size, or inefficient air/fuel ratio.

Once the mixture is burned and sent out the exhaust valves, nothing changes its makeup except for the cat- everything else is just metal or fiberglass muffling to keep noise down or redirect the gases under the car.

High flow cats will change your emissions if they are high-flow because of lower efficacy.
