This doesn't answer your question, but I have a '95 with the 5.2 and I just cut the cat out last week....night and day. If you can get away with it I recommend it for sure

I personally would recommend a high-flow cat versus none at all. you will lose gas mileage but gain performance by cutting it out, but with the price of gas...decide for yourself. I know in PA (where im originally from) they have the emmission inspections also. most places are going with them. sometimes you can get away with it, most times not. its up to you.

my 88 has no cat on it, but it was like that when i got it. technically, in the state of ohio i could take it to the dodge dealer and have them put a brand new cat on it, and then send the bill to the previous owner. but i dont really care because we dont have emissions checks or anything. my truck didnt used to have a muffler either and it was dumped under the cab, but the exhaust fumes were bothering me so i got a muffler on it and dumped it behind the cab. i gotta say, no cat and no muffler sounded pretty sweet, now it just sounds ok.
