I would use a good set of spun cats. Stock style direct replacement cats are gonna be very$$

Magnaflow, random tech, slp all make aftermarket high flow cats

Depending on what type of headers you have you may just want to look into the TSP Catted Y but I would say go to ebay or check the classified's here and look up the magnaflow metallic spun cats they are small and can fit almost anywhere without giving up clearance at all.

Gonna have to place the stock cats off the headers and see where your gonna have to cut your ory. I dont have everything in front of me so I cant even say if your gonna have room for the stock cats. If stock will not work get some aftermarket cats everyone else is talkin bout. Then your just gonna have to figure out how you wanna make the connections after you know what you wanna use. Or, just get a catted ypipe

if you really needs cats to be functional, i bought some ones of ebay for like $60 and they were real nice.. but i only needed them for inspection, they didnt have to be functional so i gutted them and just measured em out and welded em in. they were only like 10in long too so they fit great

Just simply cut and weld. Passenger side goes about 10 inches back from the header collector and the driver side will go right after the 90deg bend that faces the y or you might be able to fit it before the bend but i wouldn't. Don't use stock cats they will restrict a crap load of flow and they are big uglies.
