Longtubes with dual cats need pics

Has anyone done dual cats with long tubes?

I have long tubes and want dual cats but I don't see how they will fit, I'm hoping some one has done it before and has some pics for me to look at.

Jet Hot is coming out with their Hooker Y-pipe with 2 high flow cats some time after the new year from what i hear. Your only other option i would THINK is to do what everyone else does. Go buy 2 carsound cats for like $70 ($35 each if you shop), and get a custom Y-pipe made up at an exhaust shop after the headers are on, they can weld'em in. Personaly ditch the cats if you can :-P but if not, go with a custom Y-pipe, but if you can wait, get Jet-Hot's, call them up.

Why do you wanna keep the cats???? Do you live in Cali or something? I just dont see the use of getting high flowing headers if your gonna plug them up.

On my emissions pass/winter exhaust, I've got a cat a few inches after each collector.

Edit: Forgot I had a picture. http://www.digitalpose.com/mbr/1/274...4771377_vl.jpg Yes I painted the exhaust so it wouldn't rust out.

Reason I added cats to my setup was the sound, and didnt want to loose too much TQ. Personally I think the car sounds a lot better with cats and a loudmouth. Some guys remove the cats and have a muffler. Then there are some like nick (NVetro) that love sounding like NASCAR. But its all preference.

If you're not in a rush I will have some pics within the next week or two. I have the two cats already and will be driving to Mufflex on Tuesday. They are going to make a stainless y-pipe w/ the two cats.
