In '85, the cat had 4-bolt flanges on each end and I think the Y-pipe, cat, and intermediate pipe were 2 1/4". In '86, they changed them to a slip-fit connection at the front (Y-pipe to cat), a 2-bolt ball-flange connection at the rear (cat to int. pipe), and they were all nearly 3". You can see pix of these at:

So if I were to completely build up a new system, can I use any exhaust from any manufaturer for any thirdgen? Any If so where can I get the best system? soundwise and power wise
