Pre-Cats
I am looking at swapping out my exhaust manifold in order to get rid of the pre cats however the one I'm looking at has a high flow cat pipe ( https://www.monkeywrenchracing.com/prod ... -cat-pipe/ ) and I'm wondering if that legal here in NZ or whether I'll have to get one with a normal cat pipe which is significantly more.

Re: Pre-Cats
Have you tried just gutting them?
Much cheaper.
High flow cat should be fine though.

Re: Pre-Cats
If your car was first registered after 1st May 2010 in NZ, you will need a catalytic converter of some kind. It's a WOF requirement. Wether that would get picked up is another story.
If your car was imported and registered before 1st May 2010, go nuts.
