  • Question about my setup

    My stock muffler's blown so I've decided to go with the 3" Magnaflow catback. Possibly with a catco cat as well, but still running stock headers and y-pipe cuz i dont have money to upgrade those yet. I've read about the "s-pipe" that I'd need; do I still need this if i get the Catco? how much/where can i get it, or do I have to have a shop fab one up for me?

    When you order your magnaflow catback, order the one for the single cat-LT1 which is '94&'95. this system will come with the S-pipe where many others do not.

        Im pretty sure you would be just fine, but then again, the o2 sensors like to act...touchy... to be honest, when it comes down to o2 sensors i just base it on luck, lol
        sorry guy
        I will take on all comers...or come on all takers!!! Whichever you prefer.

              One last q on here (i think), since I still have the stock y-pipe, how do I do the cat? do i get 3" id/od and get some ort of adapter for the y-pipe to the cat, or what?

                Dont use an s pipe. Have a shop make you a 45* bend. Also use a carsound cat, many people have problems with the catco.

                  no, your stock y-pipe to cat is 3" so just get a 3" in/out cat and have a shop make an s-pipe. everything will go together good [img]smile.gif[/img]

                      Would this work? Its a car sound (magnaflow has that whole cant advertise below a certain price dealy, look at the other auctions from that guy), appears to be a 94100 series. Also, the guy I'm buying the catback from told me he's got some 54309 for around 65-70 bucks, would that fit/work?

                        Ya that would work. THeres guys on ebay that sell the magnaflow cat+catback together. You might want to look into that.

                          I'm getting a good deal on the catback from a dealer that NJFBOA (the new jersey f-body club) uses, plus he's local so I'm goin with that. As long as that e-bay cat works tho I'm gonna get that today, I just wnted to make sure I wasn't buying one that wouldn't fit before I commited to it obviously.
