I wouldn't bother with the universal unit. I did, wish now I hadn't.

A Catco direct-fit (Summit p/n CTO-9118) costs $117. Assuming you're talking about an '86-'90 TPI single cat system, it doesn't make any sense to hassle with a universal (unless you have access to pipe cutting/flanging/welding equipment & materials for next to no $'s).

I have to agree with what five7kid said. Summit has direct fit cats for many different applications. Check out their site for the one you need. They have Catco, which has been excellent to me and the quality is very good. They are made of stainless steel.

i just had the dynomax installed today. it had more power and a bit more sound. i have the dynomax cat back also. not as loud as the flowmaster but just right for me.
