Default X-pipe w/cats possible? Need pics

Im wanting to put cats on my x-pipe setup. Right now im running straight headers and the high flow cats that just got here today. When i mocked up the cats onto the headers, the passenger side seems to clear with no problems, however, on the drivers side, the header slants at an angle and the cat doesnt fit!!!! Will i have to add pipe and then put the cats on??? I need your insights and pics of available!!!!! thanks

I would say that it is VERY possible. Keep your Cats just off the headers or add some pipe to it to make it fit. Then your X-pipe should be just past your Tranny for best clearance. Mine was put on to close to the Tranny and I have clearance problems which I am clearning up when I go home.

But you shouldnt have any problems with it, what mufflers are you going to run?
