Help with Cats

I have a 1997 mustang cobra with no cats and someone was telling me that the obd1 cats would work fine on the cobra i was wondering if this was true or if i had to buy the obd2 cats???

Your car doesnt have to have cats to run. obd1 and obd2 are different types of ecu setups.

Magnaflow lists their cats under pre-OBDII, OBDII, and CARB OBDII. He may be refering to that. Eitherway, as long as it's the 3-way design, you're good.
