Re: Do spun metal catalytics need secondary air injection?

Magnaflow has at least 3 all by themselves, under EO D-103-117, which includes a dual-cat for the '89-'92 TPI, but it's around $790! The single 3" under that exact same EO is around $190. Still ouch!

Re: Old Crosslace Replicas?

I recall something similar being available on '91-'92 Firebirds, 15"x7", you may have found a set of those? If so, backspacing should be 4.25" but any bs between 3.5"-4.5" should work.

Transferring the accessories is possible if you change the mounting bracketed, but that's not cost effective unless you're a pro at metal fabrication.
