High flow cat ??

Looking to replace the factory cat with a high flow one what is the best one I have a stock carb L69 305 5 speed stock exhaust. I want a cat that I will be able to use if I decide to go to headers in the future. the current cat is rattling/starting to break up

I have the same exact car as you. I have a carsound cat. They are made by magnaflow. Flows like Random Tech. but half the price.

I remember I payed about 125 shipped. I got it somewhere off line but I don't remember. Just do a search in google for it. I also know that Jegs sells them.

Stay away from the one size fits every car. More installation problems then you want.

Not as long as the flange is the same. mine has a square flange on both sides with 4 bolts either side.
