Does Catco make a direct replacement catalytic converter for my '89 Firebird Formula?

 

Try Summit racing, thats where I got mine. p/n cto-9118

 

My exhaust shop told me to watch out which high-flow cat you put on. They said that some 3 inch in and out cats are no good because while the inlet and outlet are 3 inches, the tubes internally drop to 2.5 or so, thus making the 3 inch tubes useless. Anyone heard of such a thing?

 

I think that shop wants to sell you one of their Cats.

 

My 3" cat was just that....3".....all the way through.

 

Z28DJP1987 ... did you need the SLP cat adaptor to hook up your CATCO from the 1 3/4 SLP headers ?
thanks in advance.

Yes, I used SLP p/n 30038 Slip Fit Adaptor for the connection from
the 1 3/4 headers to the Catco Cat and SLP Catback exhaust the rest of the way. Made for a nice system.

 

Thanks for all the help guys!:hail:

 

Did that SLP connector go from the car to a 3" pipe?

will this one work for us? It's only $50

That Cat will work, may need some Fab work. Thats why I went with the direct fit Cat, even if the price is higher.

 

I don't care about fab work, it's gotta happen anyway. I'll have a 3 inch y-pipe from edelbrock. I'll have to get the end of my Hooker I-pipe cut off anyway, because it narrows down. I can live with fabricated mounts as long as I have all of my original parts intact when they come off the vehicle.
