Buy a high-flow cat with A.I.R. tube. You'll probably need an A.I.R. repair kit as well (provides a high-temp rubber hose & clamps to allow you to hook the A.I.R. tube back up to the cat). Leave it in there after you pass.

Catco is probably the best deal going as far as value. If you want the best, Random Technologies makes the best :\ flowing cat plus it's all stainless steel (the catco is aluminized steel with stainless heat shield).

Emissions shouldn't be a problem if everything else is in order.

I picked up the repair kit at Checker. Midas put one on my mother-in-laws Caprice several years ago. Should be able to get it from most any parts store or muffler shop.
