Default Random Tech Cat Question

I bought a pair of Random Tech cats thinking they would be bolt on like the stock cats. They are obviosuly not now that I have them in hand <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" /> My question is, is it possible to have them welded into the stock flanges without having to destroy my new SLP y-pipe? I have talked to a couple places so far and they all said they would have no problem welding them in to work on the car, but they would have to cut a piece off of each end of my Y-pipe. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

If you bought the small 70000 series cats, yes.
I just finished up my install of these small, yet high flowing 560 CFM, cats , in the srock factory location. I had them welded into a set of Mufflex 2.5" SS cat-bypass pipes. I did all the cutting & tacked them up in a 'jig' before the welder did his work. It took a lot of time & cash, $800 total <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> , but it turned out really nice & looks 'factory'. Track opens in 36 days for track testing .
