95-97 please. Not sure how much shipping would be, but I'm having trouble finding them locally.

Thanks,
Steve

The best setup for a CMC car is the Y pipe/manifolds from a single cat car - the cat is after the Ypipe so you just remove one cat and just have to fab an intermediate pipe with a muffler and a dump. Or, if you have some room on weight you can run the stock intermediate/over axle pipe to a muffler in the back, and just have to fill in the gap where the cat was. You will need manifolds from a single cat car also. 94 was all single cat, and maybe some 95's in some parts of the country were single cat, others dual. I think that by the end of the 95 model year production they were all dual cat.

The 93's were all single cat but there was something funky about the manifold design that made them snap off the rearmost pass side bolt at the surface of the head. Bitch to fix, avoid them. GM redesigned them for 94.

So your search is restricted to 94, and maybe some 95. Check with Jeff at CAM.

I have a 'test pipe' available that will fill the gap from the single cat: http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/index.php?showtopic=8307

I have a full dual cat Ypipe but it would need both cats removed and replaced with tubing, needs to be done on the car by a good exhaust guy. There are way more crappy exhaust shops out there than good ones so if you don't personally know a good one I would stick with the search for a single cat Y. Here's my dual, FWIW: http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/index.php?showtopic=15364

I also have a single cat intermediate/overaxle pipe, $30. If you can find the manifolds and Y, you could finish it with my 'test pipe' and the overaxle and the system would be a bolt on, no welding. Any 4th gen muffler would bolt on.
