Random Tech metal matrix here. Good but pricey.
If your looking for a more buget minded solution look at the Eastern Catalytic performance cats. No personal experience with that brand, but others have used them. You want the high flow foil type.

Preferably, you'll want cats with a metallic substrate, and not ceramic...they will last longer. I'm also considering high flow cats, but I'm worried I wont pass emission testing. I'll probably do it anyways
