I would try the local pound, I'm sure they have a bunch.


I always use dynomax. They are cheap and made with stainless.

OEMs are the best, but most expensive.

No cats just mufflers if its the emissions tests, here if the vehichle is over 25 years old you dont need testing.

All federal offenses aside that is. I mean it's only $5000 per missing unit if you get caught. Not to mention that the cats remove the most toxic by-products of running the engine.


I prefer to get direct fit, but they are expensive. If you are going to go universal you don't need a 2 bed cat, just a three way.

Three ways are the best.

They are high quality; and they come in four varieties but you only want the one with two female flanges and one male. You may have to ask around because they are hard to find sometimes.
