I had an aftermarket cat put into my 87 awhile back. Passing emissions no problem over many years with this cat, BUT ever since it was put in, the car runs hotter in summer (just under red). Feels like a furnace at the console area in front of the stick shift. Even replacing the heat shield and the radiator and using 82 C thermostat and the cooler fan switch had no effect. This car is an 8-valve and I'm not worried about head gasket failure from running hot, but it sure is uncomfortable inside the car after highway driving on a 90 degree day! I'm virtually certain the aftermarket cat is to blame. Just when I can't take it any more summer ends and everything is fine. Note: It is much smaller than the OEM cat. Don't recall the brand. Just my two cents. Possibly I got a defective one? Car has 323K on ir now, so not going to worry about it.
