Need catalytic converter guidance (right away!)
I just bought an '85 Euro - had it shipped to VA. from Michigan.
Took it for an inspection today... it needs a catalytic converter - it's been removed.
I want to get one in it and have it pass inspection before Frenzy, this Friday.
Anyone have a recommendation? Something I can get my hands on ASAP and have put in right away with no screwing around?

I have heard on here that you can have an aftermarket unit welded in, even in CA, but that they will only last a few years, depending on how much you drive. Stock units are better, but $$$$. In CA I think it is illegal to sell them used, which seem crazy to me.

I did a simple search on Amazon and found units that are supposed to fit, but the intakes and outlets had obvious and vastly different spacings. Before I order one for NOW delivery, I was hoping someone had done this and had advice.

You can have an approved one welded in, in CA, and it will last a lot more than a few years. They contain the proper precious metals and a lot more of then than the 49-state legal ones.

They dont allow selling used ones, as it promotes even _more_ stealing good ones...plus there's no way to know if a used one is good or not.

This is known good. I had it built using a new aftermarket cat and new special order magnaflow. Probably has 5 or 6000 miles on it. Pretty quiet.
$600. Drive here, we can install tonight or tomorrow night.
You probably dont have air pump though, do you?
I mean we can do that install, too, but more involved.

I have an air pump on it, but not plumbed in, apparently. I installed a new belt yesterday that doesn't run the pump. Nothing's running there, regardless.

Actually cat is Eastern 40345 not 40435.
So you can see the specs, in case you go this route.
I finished the work . Drove it lightly. But ended up with a slew of 928s including 84 Euro, and so this car sat.
