Im putting a turbo on my car now. I am wondering what i should run. Either a straight through pipe, or leave my high flow cat in? Which would sound better or make more power? Thanks

Straight thru is better for power. Cat is better for neighbors.

I read somewhere that running AFRs on the rich side can lead to quicker catalyst failure as the fuel burns in the exhaust, true? It might be something to consider.

Aha I don't care about my neighbors, I only care about the cops. And I have to get a emissions test, in 2008 my last one finally think it will pass with a straight through? Or am I going to have the throw the high flow back on?

For an emissions test I think you will absolutely need the cat on.

Just find a nice hi-flow cat and be done with it. My magnaflow 2.5 inch cat cost me 45 bucks. I pass emissions with flying colors and make plenty of power.

yea thats what i got on now is a maganaflow high flow, so il just leave that on. I have a straight through, well my old cat, i bored it out so there not catalyst in it but it sounds tinny.
