4 bolt Cat on 305 TPI

My 85 T/A has a 305 with TPI and a 4 bolt cat, is this correct? from everything I read a 4 bolt cat is on a carb engine or was GM just using what ever they had? The y pipe looks fairly large, is it a keeper?

Thanks,

Bill

The '85 TPI cat itself was the same as the L69 - not a bad piece.

Overall, one of the better factory exhaust systems offered.

Considering the Y you would have had with the LG4, yes, it's a keeper. Note the difference in the following pic:

Re: 4 bolt Cat on 305 TPI

Is it worth reusing with a set of headers or get the complete package of headers and y pipe?

Won't work with headers. Purchase a complete set-up.
