While I plan on doing my exhaust system as soon as i get my tax return money, i need opinions/suggestions on which cat converter to go with? so give me sum ideas please on which is the best bang for the buck. thanx guys

 

Catco direct fit for your model year. Best bang for your buck.

 

Agreed, haven't heard any complaints about them.

 

while my piping is 2 1/2 inches since i have an LG4 engine i wanted to upgrade to TPI 3in. does catco have 3in cat converters? im pretty sure they do i just havent been able to find any.

 

Do you have inspections? If you don't just pipe it. Besides it saves on shipping.

 

sadly i do have inspections

 

Yeah, catco sells a 3 inch cat as a direct replacement for single cat TPI cars. Have had one on both my thirdgens. Don't know if that will bolt up to the cat mount setup on the other cars though... But if you buy headers, and a cat-back for the single cat TPI cars, everything on that end will meet up nicely. I'm running Edelbrock TES headers/y-pipe, and the catco on both cars, with a Hooker catback on my 87Z and a Flowmaster on the old 86 IROC. All fits great, good cat for like $110.

 

I am also doing my exhaust shortly and was wondering if you have a part # for the catco cat? i was also looking at the dynomax super converter part # 289-15622 from jegs. anyone have any experience with this peice?

 

Whats the price of the Catco cat? CarSound makes cats that are just as good or better for the same or lower price.

 

CTO-9118, cat from catco for 82-92 f-body, 3in, 116.69 from summit

 

Whats nice about that Catco is that its a direct fit, requiring no mods.

 

I have the Catco and I like it

 

tunedport 335, how do you like that motor. i have seen a few kits and read the article in hot rod? about the project silver streak that they built one for. hows the power output and do you have any 1/4 mile times

 

Unfortunately the motor doesn't have enough break in miles yet for me to tell you.

But from messing around in my driveway and stuff, it feels like its got ALOT of grunt. If I ever so slightly touch the gas the tires go up in smoke.

I'll have dyno numbers and track times when Spring rolls around..

 

if your headed to New england dragway post a message, i live 30 min from there so maybee ill see you up there

 

For what its worth - Catco's are good. Carsound cat converters, however, have a higher flow rate. Here are some flow numbers taken at 28" of water, courtesy of JPR. Both are similar style 3" cats and just shows that there is, in fact, a diference between two similar cats made by two different companies.

Catco 3" #6907 flowed 365 cfm
Carsound 3" #94109 flowed 400 cfm
