XS Headers with Cats Been reading a couple of threads (mostly positive) about XS Stainless headers. Only package I can find comes with an off-road Y-pipe. Since I need to pass the occasional Virginia visual inspection, I am interested in getting these (great price for stainless), but was wondering what would be the easiest way to keep cats in the picture? Can cats be made to work with the y-pipe they offer? I figure getting a custom Y-pipe might get expensive, especially in my area.

yup, just install it all, buy some cats, then drive to a muffler shop. They will cut out sections of the y-pipe and weld the cats in. Problem solved!
EAD Performance has the best price on cats IMHO. Magnaflow 59959 for $89 a piece.

After I get the headers and y-pipe installed, I'm taking the car by Robert's and getting the cats welded in.
