ok, i know i should post this over in the exhaust forum, but im a little more comfortable over here
so with that said..... i have the converter i want.. a catco from summit, it says its a slip fit, for any gm in this year (86), and its alot cheaper than the direct fit... so my questions are,
is this a good cat for my car?

will it improve sound (make it a little louder\deeper)

will it improve power (prolly just a little bit, but hey every lil bit helps)

will it be fairly easy to install, or is this a project that can take a few hours... maybe even days... ( its a d.d so i can't have her out of commision for 2 long!)

by the way, its a 2.8 with a dynomax super turbo muffler on it, thanks for the input

 

It's easy as pie. You take the old one out, and put the new one in.

Bring it to a shop if you can't cut/weld pipe tho!

 

That's why I prefer the direct bolt-in. Plus if you ever change your cat-back exhaust, you won't need anyone to cut/weld the old/new system off/on.

 

ok, so with what i got(dynomax catback) , is it worth the extra cash then.... powerwise..

 

i think its worth it. i bought the catco and a dynomax catback. fit together perfectly and sounds nice. go for it, fo shizzle

 

hey tom... wanna throw me a part number of the one your talking aobut? thanks

 

yeah, I would appreciate a p/n on that. I thought I had it written down, but I can't seem to find it.....

Product catalog

Exhaust

Catalytic convertors

Search thru the list until you find "2.5 inch slip-fit inlet, 2.5 inch ball flange outlet"

Click on it. That's the one you want. Direct bolt-in. NO welding of anything necessary.

For further assurance, once you click on that convertor and it's on your screen, click on Product Applications at the bottom. Magically, you'll see Camaro & Firebird in the list.

This is how I Find all my part numbers... I should write a tech article on how to find part numbers.

Other option is to call Summit at 1-800-230-3030 and ask them for a part # and price check. That's how I found part numbers before the world wide web ever existed as we know it today (graphical display, internet explorer or netscape navigator, or hell, even before AOL was around).

 

thanks alot for the help fellas
