Default High Flow Cats

Anyone in NY with a C7 or C8 have high flow cats? If so, do you have any issues passing inspection? I’m considering 2M HFC but not sure if I’ll run into inspection issues with NY law.

I have a 25’ ZO6. The sound of the car is intoxicating. I actually thought (for 1 second) about High Flow Cats. THEN…..I woke up and started reading numerous threads about check engine lights and bad high priced products (SOUL).
After a brief thought, no way. If you have a Stingray and you want sound. Get a ZO6 IMHO. You are chasing something the Stingray is not designed to give you. Dumping money in a car you will never get back.

It is amazing how you entered my mind and read my thoughts. I’ve searched up and down and cannot seem to find anything else that would come close to the Z06 sound at higher RPM. I am actually considering a Z06 but may not pull the trigger until next year. I truly do love my Stingray, I just wish it was a tad bit more louder. With the roof off, once all the pipes are warmed up, and in Z mode with engine noise up and exhaust flaps open, it sounds pretty good. But the issue is the sound goes away unless you’re in manual mode and keep RPMs higher.
