I was thinking about getting a set of single cat headers and I was wondering what is all involved for doing the conversion? I know number one get a set of single cat headers but I was wondering if there is anything else? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

ummmmm, I have some good news for ya!! You already have single cats Have u looked under your car before?? It says in your sig. your a 95 right? Dual cat didnt start till 96'. I just put the 94-95 SINGLE cat conversion on my ride, Mac's. Hope this helps

 

95 was the first year they started dual cats in CA in auto equipped cars.

Why would you do the dual cat to single cat conversion? If you remove one of your cats will you still pass smog? If not why wouldn't you just remove both of them, and get LT's. I know that the single cat headers are better then the dual cats. Can you still pass smog with the conversion done?

 

Damn, u learn something new everday. I didnt know that bout the CA cars. Interesting. I'm no emmisions pro, but, u wouldnt even pass the visual inspection with no cats. They have to be in the factory positions, if I'm not mistaken. They have no testing at all around here, thats why I'm !EGR, !AIR and !CATS. I love it, cuts down on weight, and cleans up the engine bay. I feel for u guys in CA.

 

So what are you gonna do about emmissions mighty?

 

If he went to a single cat conversion and used a cat he might get away with a visual by putting the single cat in the place originally intended for it, under the hump.

Either way...you will need an S pipe of some sort to get from the Y-pipe exit to your catback. Summit sells various pieces of prebent pipe. try there. Don't forget a set of O2 simms.

 

He will not need 02 Simms. The 95 CA cars, like mine, came with Daul cats but with an OBD1 PCM which does not have the second set of 02 sensors after the cats.

You should be able to get away with the visual inspection, just make sure that you put the new cat in the stock location, and try to pass it off as a non-Cali car (do they check VIN's?)

 

you can get a random technology y-pipe. they make dual cat y-pipe that will bolt up to various headers
