Cat question

after i do my 350 swap here soon i wanna put the hooker 2055's on. I have an 85 Iroc and i know they dont match up to the 85's cat so can i just go buy a cat for an 86 iroc or something and put that on my car? thanks for any replies.

Re: Cat question

The Magnaflow 93441 will slip onto the hooker 2055's y-pipe. There's also a Catco one that will work as well... don't know the part number though.

Re: Cat question

The following is a direct-fit set-up: Hooker 2055's (Jeg's 520-2055). Catco high-flow converter (Summit CTO-9118). Hooker catback (Summit HOK-16823HKR).

If the Flowmaster is a 3" slip fit catback, I 'assume' that it'll work.

Re: Cat question

well its the Flowmaster 17233 kit and on Jegs it states that it fits 86 and up cars so I think it is a slip on as well.

Re: Cat question

Remember that you're purchasing the catback to fit the cat at this point, not the car. I'd verify that it's a 3" slip before I purchased.
