Default need catylic converter, which is good

My trans am convertible 2000 has the original exhust. I will be getting the loud mouth from slp. It is a cat back exhust. I saw on their wedsite that they sell catylic converters aols. Does any one know if they are a direct fit to stock manifolds or are they for slp headers only.

Is there another company that makes performance cats

thanks

Magnaflow makes some compact spun cats in just about about any dia. you'd need. I was going to order some of those before I just decided to say, "**** cats."

Most of the converters you are going to find are going to require some fab work to get them in. I don't know anyone who sells are direct replacement with the cats by themselves. Most are going to require you to buy the complete y-pipe.

Whatever you get make sure they are metallic core as opposed to ceramic core. The ceramic cores tend to break up inside.

magnaflow makes direct fit cats. I replaced my stock ones with them when the orginals went out. Worked fine for me.
