Default cat-back for the C4

What companies make cat-back systems for a 1985 c4? Also, can somebody direct me to some vendors that carry them.

Thanks
Brian

Default Cat Back

I spent hours looking into a cat back exhaust and then I decided to have my buddy at the muffler shop just make me one. I saved tons of $$$. He pulled off the old y pipe and installed a new smaller free flowing cat with some 2 chamber flow masters!!! Way to loud. Any way we pulled of the flow master and installed the Magnaflow 14816 stainless with 6inch tips and they look and sound awesome. I saved about $500.00 just on the system. So if you have a good muffler shop just have him create your own cat back.

This thread contains many sites that carry cat-back systems. Also, check the "C4 Parts For Sale" forum. (The post above is a good example).

DIY options from muffler shops can be good bargains as well. Some Vette parts ain't cheap!

Definately check out the selection at forum vendor Mid America.

Also, If Magnaflow shows up on your list, www.hottexhaust.com is worth a
look for comparison purposes.
