Is the exhaust going to be all the way out the back? If so you probably wont have a problem. But if your dead set theres several options for high flow cats. A friend of mine is running magnaflows on his supercharged 06 gto.

It will run out the back but I will have a problem anyway. A few years back I had a C3 Vette without cats and it would give me a terrible headache when idling etc. Lots of odors really bother me anymore. My challenge is to find a combo of cats and mufflers that won't be too muffled.

Ah man that sucks!

For my 79 Trans Am I ordered a built 403 engine, turbo 400 transmission, LT headers and exhaust and a Gearvendor OD/UD unit. If you're not familiar, the Gearvendor is a bolt on that basically gives you an overdrive for each gear so I'll basically have a six speed. Pretty cool shit.

Ive always wondered about how the gearvendor units are. A local guy went form a 4l80 to a glide with a gearvendor and said it had a vibration at 70 that wouldnt go away no matter what. I always wondered if it was really the OD unit or just him. He's kind of a "greater than thou" type. He probably wouldnt admit if he ****ed it up.

Just spit balling here but I'd guess he had a drive shaft issue. They have to be modified or you have to have a shorter one built.

I had that exact car in my early 20's. 403 Olds motor and all. It was fun.

Detox can likely give you the best advice on the cats and mufflers.

After much consternation and internal debate I went ahead and modernized the old girls wheels. The old steel wheels were cool and all but I think this takes it to another level.

Rocket Racing Attack "Pro Touring" wheels. 18x8 with 235/40/18's and 18x 11 with 315/30/18's. Hard to tell from the pic but she has some meat under the back now. Plenty of room for 335's at this point if I wanted to down the road.

Finally got some work done on the FJ. New seats and carb. Took it for a drive, it pulls right and the one brake drum that works pulls right. Also shown, shag roof carpeting.
