Default Cat for 1980 L82

Hi folks, first post here.
My question is that I'm looking for a freer flowing cat for my car which is equipped with stock manifold and Walker Turbo's. Can someone recommend a nice cat for this setup. Walker has a direct fit but appears not to be high performance, while the Magnaflow direct fit does appear to be high po. Thanks

I think Borla (or someone) started making an all metal high flow cat a few years back. I heard they are real nice and last a very very very long time. I'm not sure the price, but if you call summit or a local speed shop, I'm sure they can quote you on one.

Otherwise Dynatech makes a nice one for around $150 ea.

Just order a universal high flow cat from Jegs or Summit and have your local shop install it.

I decided to go with Flownaster direct fit cat. I can do the change myself as opposed to going to a shop. I live in NY and that might create problems with the EPA. Thanks for the advice.
