Best Catted Downpipe Maddad vs Cobb?

Isn't it kinda hard to see the pipe from the top with the heat shield in place anyway? Seems like a lot of trouble to appear stock.
Anyway, I'm running the Invidia catted and I've been happy with it so far.

I love my Invidia. Cheap, flanges are so beefy they'll never warp, flat flange made easy to mate w/ my Trust PE Ti-R, fitment is great. what more could you ask for. If you're gonna get a downpipe just get whatever because in the end none of em are gonna be legal.
And as for smog just slap your stocker back on anytime you needa go.

If the thing looks stock enough from the top... than the smog tech has no reason to look under the car and investigate.
These guys ain't brain surgeons, and they aren't trying to do any more than the bare minimum to get through the day. If they don't feel like they HAVE to check everything out, they won't

What kind of gains are you looking at with just installing a high-flo cat but maintaining the stock catback? Doesn't the catback defeat the purpose of having a high flow cat since the catback is restrictive?
How are you going to tune the car? Cobb AP map? Custom AP map?
