Default Silly exhaust question

I have 01 (4 cats) and would like to remove them, what exactly do I need to get to do this? I looked under the car and I swear there is a large bend coming off the headers to the first set of cats and every picture I look at of an aftermarket h-pipe doesn't have those bends, what am I missing here. What am I missing here

I'm pretty sure any "off-road" X-pipe will bolt up, some require cutting the stock H pipe and splicing together. You will also need to deprogram your 2nd bank O2 sensors.

I have the Bassani pipe and love it.

Not sure how a music band has anything to do with exhaust. So is my only alternative to hack up my system, nothing direct fit?

My car is going to get STS and would rather have piece of mind about cat debris going into turbo.
