Angry Made a BET, NEED PROOF!

I bet with one of my friends that his 1997 trans am has not 1 but 2 cats. We both know of the one on the passenger side, but the thing is whether the driver side drum looking thing is a cat. Can anybody help me prove it.

He's got two, like this one here.: http://www.thunderracing.com/images/943003.jpg

About the only proof you can give him is jacking up the car, and looking under it and pointing it out to him.

There will be two O2's there also, one in front, and one in back. They usually dont put O2's around "resonators"...

Yep

There are two cats on mine also. I'm pretty sure late model year 95's got twin cats too.
