I need a new catalytic converter....advice?

Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

Sounds good double 0....Now with this unit, will any other item be required or is it just a matter of the welder cutting and removing the current cat and adding this one?

Ok so using # 94006 is the right one. Having it welded in is the best way.
Are there any code that will popup when this is done?
Would it be in the best interest to add a 2.5" down pipe at the same time?
And again would this cause codes also?
What real advantage is there to doing this? MPG? Torque? Topend? MPH?

I picked up a universal from Pepboys. It didn't have the 4 bolt flange on it, but the shop had no problem welding it on, they also didn't need to add adapters. I was charged $40 for the install.
