Question Anyone running Kooks with catalytic converters?

I've got a heads/cam car with Kooks longtubes and an ORY. Lately I've found myself spending a lot of time sitting in traffic, and I've noticed that the uncatalyzed exhaust fumes are starting to get to me. At the end of a ride into downtown Chicago I'll stink like a gas station.

Anyways, I'd like to sell my off-road Y-pipe and get the version that has cats. However, I'd like to make sure that I won't run into any issues with the cats getting clogged up. I'm guessing that as long as the car is properly tuned and isn't running ludicrously rich that I should be ok.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

I ran LPP's with cats. LPP's are very similar to the Kooks.
Robbed about 8RWHP and reduced some torque in the middle and at the end of the torque curve.

Definitely kills all of the funk smell.

I`m running Kooks with their catted y pipe. I dont know what cat-back you are running but with a Borla I cant imagine not running cats. I have an electric cut out and with it open it is loud but no gas smell!
