What are the advantages of high flow cat over oem...also would 2.25 piping still have the ability to compensate a small supercharger if the car ever got one

I need to know the answer to this plus is there any way to get my cat to unclog until I can get it into a shop...the car won't even stay running right now for more than 30 seconds. I knew that it was starting to go but today I started to pull out of the college parking lot and the check engine light came on, i noticed sluggish pickup from the stop sign but thought it was just my head since I knew the cat was messing up. I drove about 2 miles before I turned around and came back. It was fine from a stop at my turn around point but at the stop sign right before the college it was sluggish again. I barely managed to get it backed into a parking stall in the parking lot and it died and now won't stay running.
Here is a video of what it sounded like yesterday (with 2500rpm revs):

high flow cat will gain you a few more hp. no, you need to go minimum of 2.5 if you plan on a supercharging project.

I am not sure. but after thinking about that for a second I realize you would actually have to remove the o2 sensors to get at what I was thinking. its been a long day

Removing the O2 sensor won't open up a big enough hole to counteract a clogged cat, wtf lol

Sawzall, cut your cat off.

installing a high flow cat will as it say increase the flow rate of the exhaust there fore releasing so hp from the engine since it is not being restricted by the cat. you can pick up test pipes off of ebay for fairly cheap. or if your wanting name brand the go with a mangaflow high flow cat.

I know everyone is anti fart cans but on my grand am I ran 3.0 piping from the manifold out to 3" inlet 4.5" outlet fart cans and the car sounds awsome. it doesnt crackle at high rpm's, it has a nice deep throaty tone to her and is quiet with casual driving but grunts real nice when you get on her. I also ran duals on her to quiet her down some.

I dont know how it sounds but that was some huge exhaust coming out the back of that thing. I wish I still had that pic I snapped.
