Default Catback Question

Will a 1985 catback system fit on a 1984? Its an automatic if that matters.
Thanks

Rear replacement Y-pipes are sold as 84-85. And, the mufflers are the same. Sounds likely that it would work.

84's and 85's are the same. The Y-pipe on 84/85 has four bolts that bolt it up to the converter. Later models only had two. The tail pipes on the 84's were different from the 85's but for replacement purposes it doesn't matter. The 84's pointed down and the 85's went straight back.
