Default Removeable cats in custom y-pipe

I am finally done messing with my pacesetter y-pipe, and have decided to have a custom pipe built at a muffler shop. I would like to have something built that would allow me to swap in cats for smog time (similar to FLPs). I would like something that is flanged for easy removal. Has anyone done this? Any pictures of your setup and type of cats used would be great so I could show them to the shop. FYI, I'm not too worried about the quality of the cats, they will ONLY be used for smog purpose.

Thanks
Jeff

I believe I've seen comercial Y-pipes that come with
both cats and "test tubes" in the kit but I can't recall
whose it was.

just pick up some car sound cats and have 3" collector flanges welded on. its not hard and theres no reason a shop should need a reference for the setup.
