Default Cat Replacement??

I just bought a highly moded '99 from a forum member. I'm getting some bad exhaust smell, and think the stock cats may be going.

Any recomendations. Vette is Dyno'd at 390 RWHP w/ the cats, so i wouldn't mind high flow cats if they are available to fit, or should I just stay with stock?

I did a search of the forum, and saw lots of posts referencing high flow cats, but no specifics.

Thanks

Does the car have headers? You can get a mid section pipe with hi-flow cats, ,or get cats seperately and have them welded into the existing pipe.

Yes, it has TPIS headers. Where would I get a mid section with High Flow Cats for this?

I have a set of Randon Technology High Flow Cats that have never been run on a car with a matching X Pipe.

PM me if you're interested.

Has anyone put high flow cats on that DIDN'T greatly increase sound level?

With headers and cat back exh, this vette is about as loud as I want it to get. Could maybe stand a little increase, but I keep hearing that many of the available cats really let the noise out.
