Default Exhaust Question

All I had time to get done before I left for college was getting on my headers. In a few weeks I'm going to have the exhaust finished. Around here, cops are very strict about Cats so I'm going to have to leave them on. I figured I would go hi-flow cats. My question is, should I put on two hi flow cats after the headers and would the Pacesetter ORY fit on after those? Should I just have the shop mock up a y-pipe for me? Also, how much hp would I lose if I went with Hi-flows vs no cats? I wish I could go with no cats, but they are dicks and look under my car everytime I'm sitting downtown if they think it is too loud!

I saw on a forum the other day a guy cut them into the y, cut out the length and welded them in. i only have one hi flow and it really woke the car up (sound).

bolt an ory to your headers, then place a cat in the intermidiate pipe between the ory and the catback
