If you want some cat shells, just buy some used cats (or use your old ones), and cut them in half and then weld em back onto your y pipe. The only way the fuzz can tell that they aren't the real thing (besides the emmissions) is by using one of those infrared thermometers to see that the cats aren't any hotter than the surorunding pipe. Otherwise these should would fine, and it would be cheap. hope this helps
