Catalytic Converter
« on: June 13, 2007, 09:01:12 pm »
Here soon I will be changing my exhaust (it's already dual). I want to put on a new cat. I have an '86 SWB C-10 with a 305 (soon to be 350). I don't need any high performance junk. Just something better than stock. Needs to be 2.5" in/out. I didn't know if yall knew of a place on the net that had them for cheap, or somewhere in the Nashville area.

Thanks
Copper Canyon

if you dont have emission testing where you live have you thought about just cutting your cat off? i cut mine off my 79 and the difference was amazing

It's just a basic universal cat with a honeycomb type converter. Like I said, anything is an upgrade from stock. Those converters are HORRIBLE.

I would cut those things right off, but I gotta have in Sumner County. I guess I could register it in another county hahaha.
