Universal 3.5" cat needed

My truck didn't have a cat when I bought it, and I didn't install one when I replaced the exhaust system with the Banks Power Pack, which uses 3.5" exhaust pipe- I simply fabbed a section of stainless exhaust tubing with an air tube fitting.

I'm moving to a county that has E-check, and will have to install a catyletic convertor. Problem is, I'm having issues finding one with a 3.5" in/out WITH an air tube.

Can anyone help?

3.5” Cat needed?

Not positive but You will need to use what ever came in 97 and if it had two then you will need to get two oxygen sensors. Best thing to do is see the referee in that state and he will tell you exactly what you need.

If that is the country with strict environmental regulations and laws, you know, like in CA, the non-OE cat won't do that, so most probably you will either have to grab one from the dealer, which is hell a lot of money, or try checking amazon/ebay/local junk yards... To avoid problems and fines.
