Quick question:Cat Size?


I want to get free-flowing cats. I have a dual-cat set-up on a 90 F-Bird. What size are the cats? 14" or 18"?
I beleive it's 2.5" in/out, right?
I intend to jet the Dynomax ones from Jeggs.
Any other suggestions? If so please give me a link to a webpage with a good price.I did do my research as far as wich cats are the best. My original ones have 126K on them so just replacing them w/OEM is a good idea in it self,IMHO.
So I don't really need suggstions as far as wich catalitics are THE best.
I mostly just want to kow the SIZE of the replacement cats I should get and the cheapest place to get them.
Thanks in advance, fellas
Mike

Oh yeah, I realize the cats are 18s. I'd like some help as far as were to get some reasonably priced aftermarket ones. I'm not looking for a perticular brand name.I was gonna go w/OEM replacements but decided to upgrade. Links to sites and such info is much appreciated.

Get Catco ones. You can get 2.5" ones off eBay cheap, but you can order them just about anywhere. If money is no object, get a Random Technology one.
