Default Stainless cat back for 85

Is there a stainless cat back system for the 85 besides the Billy Boat? I'm having headers installed and they suggested I just do the whole exhaust, he told me to order the Magnaflow cat back for the 86 and said he would be able to make it work. I would rather order one that was made for an 85 if I can.

You can buy a '86-'91 catalytic converter and then other catbacks will bolt up

I used the Corsa 86 system for my 85 along with an 86 Magnaflow cat. It bolted up perfectly. I couldn't be happier. If you are installing headers, just get a front Y that mates to the 86 slip-fit cat.

I have a Borla cat back on my 1985. I bought the mufflers and "Y" pipe. I like it very much, it fit great and is high quality stainless.
