Hi people...

Very long time since I've been here. Still have my '95 Z. Considering Long Tubes but need to run a single cat. I haven't seen any long tube y-pipe that will mount a cat as well. Is it possible? And has it been done?

Thanks!

 

I've heard of it being done, but I don't know how efficient it is really going to be considering the cat is going to be at the tailend of the y-pipe which spaces it a good distance away from the headers themselves.

 

I know it's kind of ridiculous, but it's a necessity thanks to the smog police. No sniffer test here in NC on '95 and older but definitely needs to pass the visual.

 

I did it.. i can give you a pic of what my set up looks like if you want.. i have hooker long tubes, hooker off road y-pipe, and then a hooker catback with a cat welded in the i-pipe... however im told its choking my engine so im removing it.. replacing with a cutout, and putting two mini cats in the y-pipe..
but yes its very possible.. just not very efficient

 

If you don't have to pass the sniffer test, then you will be fine. The only reason why I had a pair of mini-cats welded into my y-pipe was simply in case of a visual inspection.
