[TR] TR 7 exhaust system

[jhmdds at aol.com]

Last weekend I tried to get my 1980 TR7V8 inspected.  This car has been highly modified.  The exhaust consists of headers on each side of the engine that flow into separate downpipes, mufflers and exhaust pipes that exit in front of the rear tires.  The guy at the inspection station said that if there were no catalytic converters, it would not pass NC inspection.  Well of course there aren't any so now I'm looking for small converters.

I have two questions: Did the 1980 TR7 have a catalytic converter as standard equipment?  and Does anyone have a suggestion about small catalytic converters for a very cramped space?

By the way the V8 is a Pontiac 400cc out of a Formula.

Thanks,
