The "cat" had be removed from my '79 and been replaced with a "cheater" pipe. When I found the rear "Y" pipe rusted out, I put a set of '74 style 2" duals on it that I got from Zip Products. I used the Magnaflow mufflers that were already on the car but had to get 2" to 2 1/2" pipe adapters in order to use them. Had I used a 2 1/2" dual set, I wouldn't have had needed the adapters. You will also need front exhaust hangers and clamps. Good Luck

Default Dual Exhaust

You can try any of the supporting vendors, 2" and 2-1/2" are common dual replacemsnts. Check your local laws before doing anything. Not sure were you live.
