Default Added some cats to my ORY yesterday

Quick background, I purchased my 99 WS6 without Cats. Previous owner had put a 2.5" ORY on. I had to put cats on to pass emissions. I purchased 2 x Magnaflow 59956 metallic spun cats ($88.00 ea). Installed them yesterday. To be honest, I wish I'd done this right away when i first bought the car. Adding the cats seems to have eliminated a lot of the drone i was experiencing and my car no longer stinks like an old snowmobile anymore. If there is any loss of performance, i can't tell. I'm super happy with the turnout.

Next for me is to install my 4" Corsa Clones that I bought.

I totally forgot to take pic's. That was an oversight on my part. I will take some when i put my tips on.

The drivers side one i mounted about 3-4" down from the manifold connection and the pass side i put just before the Y by the mounting hanger. It tucked up in there nicely under the pass floorboard. I think my clearance is actually better now as i was able to move the drivers side pipe around a little better after i cut into it and was able to get the pipe nice and tight to the bottom of the car.
