FYI WA state emissions are by zip code so if you're in Everett you'll have to pass emissions. Wa state emissions are only a OBD II test in most places so just get the codes tuned out.
Sounds like you need to find another shop. But if you said the guy did good work before you may want to see if he'll do it cash only with no receipt. Most small places will be willing to do work on that basis.

I wouldn't have let him touch my car if he wanted to do a shitty y pipe with no proper merge and was too lazy to do what you asked in the middle.
And a single cat? Um...no.
And the 4" mid pipe would still help, by the time the exhaust gets to the rear it will have cooled some so the 3" would be less restrictive.
Not to mention the price sounds high (but lots of things are a little cheap here). I could go get a set of true duals 3" diameter bent (stretch bent, not crushed) and welded up for $180. Unless that cat is more expensive than I think (not that you wanted it anyway...) I would have laughed.

yeah, dont go with just one cat... i ran into the same problem with the cat but the shop owner was telling me they just cant touch the area where the cats used to be (which is in the area of the LT's). So I said the cats were upstream closer the the motor and he had no problems with welding up my y-pipe and cut-out. i think your shop is looking into the rules to much. So id go find some other guy mostly on account that one cat is just weird coming from a 'professional'.

so just installed longtube headers took to exhause shop to get ory. Original plans ory 3" into a flowmaster 3" to 4" merge and runnin 4" i as far back as i cud then into rest of exhaust. He wouldn't let me do an ory cause it had to have cats so he's putting one on the passenger side. He said that there is no point for the merge and 4" piping. And that it wouldn't fit right with the merge cause it would be to far over. So getting ypipe made with a cat and connecting to my exhaust is $360 dollars with flange kit. What do you guys think?
I had my car trailered there cause they did a good job on my dads chevelle. Too loud and far with straight headers to go. And i pretty much had to get it done there cause my dad wouldn't have wanted to trailer it somewhere else. The guy was trying to make me feel like an idiot and i don't know crap about it since im 17. Oh and he goes on saying that from the headers i prolly picked up like 60hp
