What headers and cat should I choose?
Hi there...
I am going to buy some new exhaust components to my 87 Camaro.
I am very soon finish with converting my car from Carbed 305 engine to a TPI engine.
I have a 3" catback system that I bought one year ago, and I love the sound of that. Now I want to change my Catalytic converter and go for some headers also. I think it is about time to change a stock cat that has 85,000miles on it.
What kind of headers should I go for?..And what kind of high flow cat?
I have seen that Magnaflow have a lot of aftermarket catalytic converters. Is that a good choise?..Or what about dynomax???
And when it comes to headers, I have heard about Hooker 2055HKR. Is that a good choise?..I have also been looking at Hedman Headers also. Is that a good choise?...It may be difficuly for you guys to answer this question but I appreciate every tips I can get...
My engine is like mentioned above a 305 TPI engine from 1987.

Hooker 2055HKR headers, Catco 9118 direct-fit cat or something like it.
If your 3" exhaust fit your LG4 exhaust, it will have to be modified to fit the TPI cat. Not a biggie, just a detail.

Re: What headers and cat should I choose?
I think the cats for the LG4 and TPI engines were the same this year but I am not 100% completely sure...What's the difference on the cats anyway?
They should be just direct fit procedures...
