Default Catalytic Convertor Spool Piece

Is there a direct fit "cat" spool piece with proper flanges/bolts for an 84? I would like to bolt or unbolt my cat if possible.

Ok, so you unbolt. What can you put in its place to fill the gap with no convertor?

That is a good question...

you may have to have one made... and the are techincally illegal.

Back when cats where prone to failure, they were sold as a way to confirm its failure. These days, cats are much more durable.
