84 s10 What type of catalytic converter and dual exhaust system do you recomend for my 1984 S10 I would like to have a resonator tip and and I would like to do it myself so I would like it to be a bolt on system?
I suggest using a factory cat with a y-pipe behind the cat to your dual exhaust. LMC Truck makes a great bolt on duel exhaust with resonators. Easy to install and great sound.

Many things do this. First you have a 84, Do a compression test. low, then give up. No matter what you sink into it, it won't get better unless you rebuild the engine. Next replace the catalytic converter. After that tune it up, from the fuel filter to the top of the engine.
I also have an '84 s10 which was recently converted to a Small Block v8. I had the same problems, only when I took my foot off of the accelerator and let the motor ride the gears down. Your backfiring may be coming from a slip in the motor timing belt.
Order the catalytic converter for that make and model and you will get the right size, assuming that the installation was done at the factory and has not been modified.
If you stick with items sold by major manufacturers (edelbrock etc) and buy a matched set, you should be OK. Remember though that exhaust work sometimes requires that the vehicle be lifted higher than normal jacks etc will go.
if you are not all that mechanical take it to a muffler shop they are usually cheap to cut out and swap please make sure that your current exhasut is the still stock or you will need to know the diameter of the pipe they used
a stock CAT will suffice. unless you want duel cat. than two stock. but a really good website with free shipping that i use for my s-15( gmc version s10) is autopartswarehouse.com and another Extremely good one is lmctrucks.com
you can do it without weldind. If the old one is welded on then you will have to get another pipe to extend the pipe or get a cat long enoungh to fit the space than muffler clapit in place.
