I have a 1987 bronco2 that has the front cat rusted/split. Any ideas, I hate to spend 290.00 dollars on a new cat. I thhought about running dual pipes off to dual glasspacks. I know.... not legal.

so what exactly are you askin???
if you're gonna be legal you gotta get cat's.
now they have cheaper universal ones... check out summit. or... other places idk.
if you don't care about being legal, pass it... we can't make that judgement call for you

I've heard of cats as low as 50 bucks, might as well stay legal. Keeps your truck runnin better too.

I'd get a set of universal fit cats, run your duals and glass packs, and have your legal cake and eat it too.

Actually after crawling under the truck, it's mainly the flanges that's rusted real bad. The gasket is blown. i know they make round replacement flanges, but I haven't seen the type that's on the truck.
