make sure that it is a 3-way cat if you get a high flow one, otherwise it wont pass...i think the random technology one is a 3way. hope this helps.

autozone sells universal cats, might need some help with a welder to make it fit, but they are alot cheaper than 100$+....

i wanna get omething good trying to stay away from the universal stuff considering i was a little over 50% over emmisions.

I dont really know anything about emissions, if 50% is close to passing or not. but if you were close, try sea-foaming the car and get the car and cat hotter before testing. tell them you"ll wait, and just rev the car and keep the cat HOT until it gets tested. soafoam is only 5 bux a bottle, and if it helps you pass its a lot cheaper than a new cat.
just an opinion.

i think to pass i needed to get a score of 800 or 1000 i got a 1480 so far from passing. and my oem cat is fuked its rusted to shit. but would any of the cats i gave the links to work i wanna get this over with as soon as i can so i dont have to pay twice. i was thinking of the catco one.^

Make sure you get a 3way. Most aftermarket cats(performance) are 2way which won't help.

There is always the Metal Cat option. Although an investment. If it can make a 600hp SR pass a LEV test I think it should help you.
