Questiong about CAT placement...
Questiong about CAT placement... Has anyone ever placed (1) cat in the I-pipe ? .. Instead of placing 2 in the Y pipe. Is there any difference if power or sound, Anything? .. Dont care about emissions..
Im wanting to place the cat in I-pipe after my Cutout ... Is this possible and will it work to just quiet the car down a little and cut down on the off road stinch, ..But then just open up the e-cutout when i want it to be loud...
Elaborate....

you will sufficate your exhaust as GM put 2 cats on the system for a reason...
you would be better off ditching the 1-cat idea and going with a large baffled muffler to replace it if you want to quiet things down when your cutout is closed

I ran a single cat in the i-pipe for almost 2 years with no real problems. The cat is pretty much useless for what it's intended for that far back, but it really cut the rasp and gave me a nice deep tone.
The reason I did that was that I had purchased two cats to have the exhaust shop put them in my offroad pipe so I could pass inspection. The guy that was going to do the exhaust said there really wasn't enough room to put it in the y-pipe so he said he'd pass it for inspection if he just put the single cat in the i-pipe. I used a magnaflow cat and it fits fine.
