If you are only installing it for the sake of passing emissions testing, then you're gonna pull it back off, I would err on the side of "too small" instead of "high flow".

Nothing works as well as an OEM cat in my experiences and it has more cross section and length than any of the high flow units. Nothing even comes close to a known good stocker. There is no cheap aftermarket high flow cat that will flow the exhaust volumes an engine over 400 hp will be creating without causing a big restricion.
