Dual cats or single cats with longtube's?

Anyone running dual cats with lt's? I need to run at least 1 cat on my car with the lt's, but was wondering if anyone has duals?

I'm running dual 3" minicats in my Pacesetter Ory pipe. They are made by Pypes and cost me around 140.00 for the pair.

I'd definitely recommend running dual cats (one after each collector) with long tubes as opposed to a single cat. High flow cats aren't that big of a restriction, but two 2.5" cats flows a lot more than one 3" cat.

I am running two 3" cats in my Pacesetter Y pipe. They are the dynatech high flow converters, they ran me 149.99 a piece.

I am actually selling the Y-pipe with the cats already welded in if you are interested.

Let me know.

What are these "cats" you speak of???

Yes, 2 are better than 1.

I agree with Critter, this would be the ideal. BUT...most of us live in states with strict emissions laws and must have cats installed. I too must get cats for my LT Pacesetter setup. I think I'll try that cat-in-the-Y-Pipe method.
I went to the Pypes website...looks very promising.
