I have an older one piece BBK x-pipe with Cats on it. I used to be on my Saleen but about 5 years ago, a tire shop high centered my car on their lift and ended up smashing one of them so now it rattles. They paid me to get a new one and the labor so that was good, Now I want to put that x-pipe on my 89 GT but I need to replace that damaged cat. I have contacted BBK and they do not sell them separate. The last guy I talked to there said he would email me the info for their supplier. I never received it and I have asked multiple times Has anyone been successful in finding a replacement? A normal generic one will not work as these have the cross over pipe for the air pump. Where I live I need to pass smog every two years so I need the cats installed. Any help would be appreciated. THanks
 
I did not see one with the air inlet hole. Just generic ones. Pic for reference.

So this is the close up of your existing converter.

Pretty sure a universal cat will get you what you need if you can reuse the air tube. Do they do visual in Portland? If not then you can skip the whole air tube stuff and just use 3-way cats like Noobz mentioned. I would try a Walker standard EPA or Magnaflow standard grade. I had to weld a set into my old off road X-Pipe when I lived in Houston and the car passed with zero issues with no air stuff. You just need to drive around and get them hot before they put it on the sniffer.
