Default Need help locating cats

I'm in the process of piecing together my exhaust system and can't seem to find any options on cats. I found a direct fit, OEM y pipe but I'd rather have high flow cats. The bassani pipe only goes up to 95 (mine is 96) and I'm guessing because of obdii or something. Looking for off the shelf parts as I don't really trust my local exhaust shop to create a y pipe for me. Anyone know of any brands?

You could always get the pipe for the 95 and have some O2 sensor bungs put in it where they need to be.

the magnaflow y-pipe includes one of their universal high flow cats. its really the best option because if you go with a "race" cat, you'll set off a SES light for catalyst inefficiency.
OR you could get a 02 sim if you dont have emissions testing and say screw cats!

Have you tried Summit racing?

Yeah, only found the universal cat. May just end up having them use my old cat as a template and weld up some high flow cats or have them drill a new bung into a Bassani cat. Didn't think about that.

You can use the Magnaflow Y pipe setup. Order it from Advance Auto and use one of their discount codes to get $50 off. Truth be told, any new cat will likely outflow a stock cat.

Also, Magnaflow's exhaust is mandrel bent vs the normal compression bend of stock and average stock replacement setups.

According to photographs, Bosal and Flowmaster makes Y-pipe/cat setups that are mandrel bent as well.
