Finally after about 6 months I am getting Bursch headers!!!! yeha!!!! <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" /> But since my factory cat is shot, I am looking at a Dynomax Superconvertor in the Jegs catalog. There are 2 in there. One is an 18" and the other is a 13.25" long. Is there a difference regarding filtration of the exhaust between these 2 different sizes???? There will be custom work done to fit an aftermarket cat underneath my car with the headers on it. Any suggestions on the size up there? ![Confused](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif)

I'd go with the smallest one. I have a Catco Cat that is ~14" long. The original cats are long and round, but most aftermarket are the standard oval shape. I would imagine the 944 can't produce the sort of volume to make a large Cat needed - more for trucks or high displacement engines.
Good Luck!
