This works great. It's better to put a tube through them so as not to get turbulence. Just eliminate the rear O2s with LS1 edit.

Bill,
With your HP level you will blow out your cats in no time.
Cut them out and weld up a tube or get an off road xpipe.
It will sound better too.

Thanks, Its a lot of stress trying to meet this deadline in 8 days and the car still acking up and 4 states away.

The movie is called Miami Vice. Jamie Fox and Collin Farrow(sp)
Universal Pics called me and asked to use my car for the film in some fashion no idea yet.
It will come out in 2006 and Micheal Mann is the producer.

Only if the tuner hasn't a clue how to tune with cats in line. HP level should not limit the life of the cats.

Generally most tuners go for safe AFR, which unfortunately is not CAT friendly. On stock bottom end 11.5-12.0 AFR can be the norm which tends to chew up CATS.
