I had a muffler shop alter my Flowmaster cat-back to work with the EM longtubes and Dynatech PowerCats. The longtubes fit closer together than the factory manifolds/cats.

Does anyone make [long tube] headers that easily bolt up to a cat back (in my case B&B) exhaust systems? Thanks for the help.

Doesn't the term cat-back infer that a cat is in between the two systems? If that's the case wouldn't the headers have to connect to the cat which in turn connect to the cat-back exhaust? :confused:

Yes, they did make them. They were DRM long tube stainless headers and they bolted up to the factory exhaust,(by passing the cats), Flowmaster ,B&B etc. I have them on my car (93 ), but the guy who made them for DRM retired, Watson was his name I believe, and the patent went with him. Maybe DRM can find you a used set.
