Chris,
Does your car have one cat converter or two? I have one and i was talking to this guy about a y pipe and he is saying this....
Your going to need 2 cats because the headers go into the y-pipe which merges into the catback so u gotta get a cat in there after each header unlike stock. You can use one cat however, you could have it welded to the end of the y-pipe and then cut of a few inches of the catback. So basically it would be like halfway down ur car so but it may be real hard to pass the visual inspection. Would be any easy way to do it tho.
I dont see why i would need two if the car came stock with only 1?!
And greg and i arent going out to firebird but will definitely be out on bell.

Hey chris this is the latest on the cat converter issue:
Are you going with longtube headers, shorties or midlength? That will determine what type of y-pipe you need. If you go with longtubes then you'd really need 2 cats coming off each header for them to actually work right. A single cat will be too far away from the engine to function properly. If you go with mid-length headers then you can go with a stock type y-pipe.

Thats what this guy has to say.

chris, you called??? i didnt have any missed calls???
anyways you ran a 17.3 thats horrible dude, lol you should be at least low 14's, high 13's...
and ya according to ss chris, i flew by him when he was at 80mph... i was moving to when i passed him, fast enough to where i didnt have time to look over and see the expression on his face lol... but ya my start was horrible as usual, spun like mad, then let off alittle to get some hook'age then slowly layed into the throttle, and by then he had a nice length on me... and i know he does have a magnaflow exhaust on the ss, not sure of anything else.

Yeah the truck is not stock, have 2 magnaflows dumped at the axle. When we raced I got a little jump on him out of the hole. If it was dead even he would have passed me around 70-75mph. He had to have close to 20mph on me when he passed. I also raced the spoon honda car. Was almost too easy to put him in my rearview mirror.
blaze- no longer need the cutout as you probally can tell. Were have you been? I have not seen you in a long time.
