    My 1982 GTSi is flowing much more exhaust from the left two pipes as from the right two. I suspect the left cat is not right. That in mind, I would like to fabricate a test pipe before spending fairly large dollars on a new cat. At one time, a while back, there was a post giving the NAPA part numbers for the exhaust donuts and exhaust flanges. Anyone have information??

    As always , thanks in advance.

    I think they all do that anyway because of the muffler. Mine seems to favor the left side too and it's an 84 with one cat.

    I don't know of any napa part numbers, but a good muffler shop should stock those. If I remember we had what was needed to do the last 308 we worked on. Unfortunately, I don't have a part # for you because we found what fit as we worked on the car. I would suggest taking it apart and having someone match the parts you need. Good luck.

    I just did a custom exhaust set-up and a standard 350 GM SBC flange and donuts worked. Sorry I don't have a part # but they should be 2"

    No need to go to all that trouble. It's normal. A search in the archives would have turned up many threads about this.
