Default Long Tube Headers installation Question.

I have a 94 Zee with a single cat underneath the passenger side (I'm assuming it came factory like that). I'm using Hooker Compitition Shorty headers with a y pipe right now and would like to go with Long Tube Pacesetters or something like that. My question might be stupid but I really don't understand: How can you use a Long tube headers and still use the Cat? They look too long to have a y pipe and then run it to the cat, am I right?
BOTTOM LINE: I want to put long tubes on my 94, what do I do? what's a good long tube headers brand in your opinion?
Every help or comment will be greatly appreciated.

You can weld cats in with long tubes, but they won't be in the stock location.
Magnaflow makes some nice 4" bullet cats (mates with 3" tubes)

if you don't have to legally run the cat don't
if you're a green mind and you wanna or the law says you must then that magnaflow cat is a good choice

but what about emission ****, I'm in PA, they require emission. Also, if cats need to be relocated, do I need a y pipe?

this is how i get my car through emissions: first i go up and tell the manager my car is getting an engine replacement and i dont want to get my liscenses suspended. so he gives me a waiver for 2 months. at the end of that do it again and he hooks it up for the 2 years usually once i threw him 100 dollars. its worth the hassle cause im not taking those headers off untill i go stroker.

how about this. you can get some heat sheilds from two other cats and weld them onto your new y pipe. like i said before be clever, when they swipe the mirror under there real quickly like they do, they wont know the difference
