Default Killed the Cat, and a Tiger appeared!!

Just got back from the muffler shop where I had them drop my cat, and pipe in straight 2 1/2 to each muffler for "true" dual exhaust. WOW! Gotta like that sound and extra power. It made a considerable difference, and the engine seem to be running alot smoother.

Next up.....New distributor and Edelbrock carb and intake! Can't wait for the next round......

I can't do that. They actually look for the cat in the '75 when they do the full blown "clean air" inspection. Don't move to NC.

Kalaway, put in a 3" center pipe with a high-flow cat. 100% legal. Almost as good as true duals and no cats.

If you don't have to actually pass emissions, Take a straight through replacement tube and put a cat cover over it. There's got to be people here that could give you an old dead factor cat.
