Default 2 vs 4 bolt Y-Pipes...

My new Walker Dynomax system showed up yesterday. Dropped the old system this morning, only to realize my Y-Pipe is too small. The one that came off was a 2 bolt. Can I use a 4 bolt without having to change out the cat?

The Dynomax one I'm looking at is the 4-bolt, which raises the question.

They changed the bolt pattern sometime in '86 (i see your's is a '86). I had the same problem with my '85 so I just cut off the end and welded it together

If thats not something you want to do then you'll have to get a later style cat.
