Default my cutout dilemma..

So heres the dilemma.. Hooker LTs, Hooker off road Y pipe, Hooker Cat Back exhaust.... and.. emissions. So I HAD to have a cat in there.. not necessarily in the stock location because i can pull a few legs.. but there had to be one. So i had it put in the I pipe.. pretty much as close as i could get to the Y-pipe which is say 3-6" away. So there really is no room on the I pipe to install this cutout so i was thinking....

Cut the y-pipe down a little and cut the I pipe down a little where they meet to fit the cutout in, clamp it, and use it to bridge the gap between them... think it will work?

i can get pictures if you guys dont understand what im explaining.. im not usually good at it

either dual cutouts off the headers or you'll have to try bridging it...those are the only two options.

im gonna bridge the y-pipe to the exhaust with the cutout.. the only o2 sensors back there are on the headers so theres no way its too close being after the y-pipe.. heres a picture of where i plan to put it...
