more on ssi with cat

hey durrett and aigel sorry for the delay, but this system i bulit consist of a kragen universal cat with a 2.5 in/out and a small resonator which looks like a small car muffler. the muffler in/out are offset. every opening is a slip fit so i put them together with clamps and tack welds. Now the trick was to fit the ssis to this compact little system. Using short radius mandel bent piecies from summit racing, and a pair of flanges that fit the ssis, I formed what looked like the early bursh system with the driver's side meeting the pass. side where I hand made a collector. all said and done I ended with a 2.5 inch single outlet capturing both ssi outlets. I seems like a lot of work but it worked.... I then clamped the cat-muff in place, welded a simple tail pipe on the had a local guy with a smog check machine test and adjust. Took it in and passed. Went home and put my sport muffer back on. I'll try to post a pic .

will you be renting this ssi back system to fellow pelicans come smog time? it sounds like you wont be running it full time. is you car an pre 02 sensor SC by any chance? if so what did you do about the EGR?

I've heard of folks doing such with generic cats to pass smog, esp in CA. I'm always tempted ...can you post pics?

What about the visual check?

the visual I guess was ok cause it passed while I sat in the waiting room.as for the o2, question; it's an 82 sc, sure, we can work something out so someone else can use it. By the way, can anyone tell me how to post a picture on pelican? Also i'm working on some finishing touches on the system to get ready for my may smog check.... 2 years, man that was fast.......later
