Yes- I just installed one on my 77. I bought it off Ebay. Do a search for test pipe. You didn't hear this from me :D

thanks just what i need

Just a tip. Make sure the flanges are four-bolt. The pics show two-bolt. I purchased a high-flow cat from a Corvette supplier:smash: several years ago and the flanges were two-bolt. I put up with the leaks at the joints for a year before I threw it away.

HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT CLEANING THE CONVERTER OUT

terry82

anything in side a cat is a restriction . take a metal rod or something that you can hit on ,now knock out everything inside the cat so that you can see thru it. :smash:

True duals with flowmasters is the way I would go about it. :yesnod: Oh yeah, I did go about it that way.

Just get a high flow cat from ecklers and stay legal it will flow about as good as true duals while your there get some flow masters or glass packs and you should be happy for a while

79 cats are pellet-type and cannot be "rodded" out like the cell-type.
