So I have an 86 Eta, and it has dual pipes coming from headers into the stock muffler. I don't know if this is stock or not because I also think the cat has been deleted.
I'm looking into a used magnaflow for a fair price, and have a few questions on mounting it. This muffler has only a single inlet pipe, waiting on more info for it (part number and diameter of inlet pipe).
My questions are these:
Are the dual pipes on an Eta stock? The PO did a bunch of wierd shit to the car so I wouldn't be surprised if they are not stock.
Is it advisable to use a Y pipe to divert the 2 pipes into 1 pipe, then to muffler inlet? Is there a desirable place to do this to minimize any loss in airflow? (right in front of muffler VS back further towards headers?)
My county does not require emissions testing on a car of this age, so are there any positives/negatives of leaving the Cat. off? Should I get a resonator? Does this only affect sound or does it have other effects?
sorry for all the noob questions, I searched a lot on multiple forums and could only come up with so much. thanks for any advice
