SO IF I go on e bay and just get a 3 inch hi flow cat does it have to be 3 or 2 way etc. i dont think there are tubes hooked up to them. ALso smaller cat will let it flow more correct?

Naturally a smaller cat will create a less amount of time for the air to be restricted in, therefor flowing better.

If your going with a magnacharger, go with a metallic cat. I dont think a ceramic cat will lost a long time with the high temps from the magnacharger.

I have magnaflow cermamic cats that flow 590 cfm, a ton of air. I would look into that.
