Default LG street headers cat install question?

I just received my LG Streets today. Took a quick look at parts & have a question. The package came with 4 short pieces of pipe, two have the bungs for the rear 02 sensors since the x-pipe section doesn't have the bungs. Question is do the cats fit directly to the header collector or do the other two short pipes go between the header & the cats? The instructions included were for long tube off-road package.

Thanks.

I just received my set a few days ago and I'm getting ready to install the system too. The cats attach directly to the collectors on the headers, where you will find the first set of O2 bungs. Then attached to the cats on the rear is another short pipe with the second set of O2 bungs installed in those pipes. After that pipe you install the x-pipe section. The additional set of short pipes that do not have sensor bungs installed are cat eliminator pipes that can be used to replace the cats on off-road systems. They are included with the system even if you should purchase the catted system. I found this out because I was originally sent a system with no cats to install while I waited for the cats to arrive (backordered). Fortunately they showed up rather quickly so I'll only have to do the installation once.

Striper,
Thanks! That's exactly the info I was looking for. I was wondering if the 2 pipes without bungs were for a cat-delete system and are just included in all systems.
