regular is a little better for emissions, but if the car is running well, a high-flow one is fine.

you still have an ozone layer though, dont you?

part of the reason i like imports instead of v8s, is the efficiency. you can have a beast that runs 11s, and still pass the sniffer test. whether you have to or not. thats another reason i dont like test pipes.
