Have full length hedders and need a y pipe, but as far as a cat goes, any recommendations? 383, auto, 1988.

I am a NYS inspector, so ill prob run a cat, but more or less to deal with fumes. I have a Borla S series cat back kit sitting here.

IF i ran a stock fitting cat, do i just braze the air tube shut?

Thanks everyone!

I wouldn't bother to braze it. Mine came with a couple of bungs.

Magnaflo has some HiPerf CATS that I have used.
Ceramic or metal substrat is your choices.
I went with ceramic based on cost.
