Your best bet would be to get one of the pre-fabbed catted Y Pipes instead of trying to make one using the stock cat. Their expensive, but if yuo gotta pass emissions, worth every penny.
Now if you wanted to try something a little less conventional ... Your car is a 95, so it should be OBD I, but since its a California car, it might actually be OBD II. If its OBD I, there is no rear oxygen sensor ( After the cat ) meaning you could get the ORY, cut the stock catalytic converter open (Neatly) and use it as a "shell" around the pipe of your ORY. Have a GOOD welder do it for you, at a machine shop or something. It will pass visual for having a "cat", and what they dont know, wont hurt them. Worst case scenario, a garage calls you out on it, and you take your car somewhere else. Or play dumb and say its been like that since you purchased the car in 2005 and act outraged that no one ever noticed it before.

Its a ODB I. Thats a good idea, might have worked but I need the cat for passing the smogtest.. I am not gonna do longtubes right now, my car is lowered and I need good clearence because its my daily driver on summers and I live in a area with a lot of speed bumps. But I am gonna get rid of the flowmaster before summer, been looking at GMMG sounds really nice and seems to flow well, expensivee though..

Ahh gotcha, Yea you'll love the GMMG exhaust. There was a car for sale around here last year that had one, sounded awesome. If you get a GMMG, and a decent hi-flow cat, your really not giving up much at all over an ORY anyways.
