Cat confusion - please enlighten me..
Hello all,
Im in the process of installing my new exhaust, but need to buy a new cat first and it has turned into one big confusion!
Some say buy a stock replacement,
Some say buy a high-flow Random Tech.,
Some say a high-flow will be too much,
Some say get a Catco, and yet others suggest an Arvin...
What is the deal? What SHOULD I buy, and where can I get it?
The setup in my 86 IROC is as follows:
- 305TPI
- Edelbrock JetHot coated TES Headers
- Edelbrock Performer RPM cat-back
- Gutted airbox with K&N's
- Airfoil
- SLP runners (to be installed)
- Port matched plenum (to be installed)
- Some cam will be ordered fairly soon
Any inputs would be greatly appreciated,
thanks a lot,

Ken
