I don't think Pacesetter makes a Catted-Y. You would have to have someone fab one up for you.

your up for correction then...i even went so far as to check their site no catted ypipe on there to be found. and youd be hardpressed to be able to put cats into their design.

have someone with skinny *** arms to get to the rear most manifold bolts, and grind or cut the kmember before you tighten donw the headers, cut off the nub of the block using a sawsal it will take all of 30 seconds, will not affect appearance or anything so dont worry about it too much...and most important have fun
