If you find a way to keep the cats in the stock location it doesnt matter what you really do after that.

You might pass with them, but they aren't legal. In CA, if your car came with a single exhaust then it can't be changed to a dual. Even if the exhaust change is behind the cats it's still technically illegal here. EVERYTHING is illegal in CA!
