This version does not have flanges on each end, so you (or your local muffler shop) will have to either weld flanges on or weld it directly to your pipes. We also offer a bolt-on replacement with flanges (linked below) at additional cost. (Sorry the '86-up one is so pricy; no cheaper option at this time.)

If you do not live in California, you don't need either of these. Instead you can use one of our $179 49-state CATs (also linked below) which are bolt-on replacements and have flanges.

    • 2.1 Liter: 1986-1991
    • Syncro: 1986-1991
