Exhaust Diagram?
I know this may sound weird, but is there anywhere to find a diagram (or possibly a REALLY good picture) of the complete exhaust system? From the headers all the way to the tips. I'm replacing my system, and this is what I'm doing:
1) Hooker Headers
2) High-Flow Catalytic Converter (I think it's by Dynatech or something like that.. It's from Jegs)
3) Flowmaster Force II Y-Pipe
4) Flowmaster Force II Mufflers
When I look down in my engine compartment, I see what looks like a wannabe Cat Converter on both sides, connected to both headers. I can't explain it, without thinking that they ARE catalytic converters.
Oh well..
Thanx in advance!

Those are called pre cats & they are two small cats. Depends what kind of smog test you will have to pass if you need to get them back in the mix or not. Me... gone. Though I still have the main cat body installed it has a 2.5" hole in the middle of the monolith. No idea if it would pass smog but I like to hope it is fairly clean since it is fairly well tuned. Also we don't have any testing in my area except for title transfers. So, I'm good.

The manifolds connect to the front Y pipe, which comes together just before entering the main cat, and then the piping comes out to the rear Y pipe and into the mufflers.
Front Y has small precats on each side, which are not doing the majority of the work, so you can delete them and still pass the sniffer.
The hooker 2149 or 2151 you are getting requires the 16720 Ypipe or a custom one put together.

With that Y-Pipe, will that bolt directly to the Hookers or do I need to get some more extended pipes to go past the pre-cats?
Thanx to everyone for their help, thusfar

16720 bolts directly to the header on each side.
Read my website for more tips on headers. It lists everything you need.
