I put AutoZone mini-cats on my '34 dual exhaust 350 SBC...each cat has the correct size inlet/outlet and is designed for a 3.0 Liter engine....





I put a cat below each header-----giving me a combined 6.0 Liter exhaust flow.

The vehicle passes Federal Emission standards with no problem. This year the truck will not be required to have emission equipment, but as longs as they work correctly I will leave them installed.

I may put a pair on the Vette project since I know they work well.....just to provide my kids with some clean air....LOL.

Random Technology makes very nice and highest flow cats. They are called bullet cats.

How soon do you need these cats? I have two from Magnaflow on my '80 right now I plan on removing. They are only a couple months old.

If interested here is the part #94006.
