They are also known as "pup cats"

Here's the stock H-Pipe with pup-cats installed... Not all years of the C5 had pup-cats. Don't know off hand which ones did and which ones didn't...

Since you have a 2000, you may or may not have the pre cats. The model year 2000 California emission sold vehicles did have the pre cats, the others did not.

Those 2000's that had option NG1 ( Mass. and New York emissions requirement ) also had the PUP cats. There were 402 produced with this option. Mine had them even though it was not delivered in NY or Mass, but in PA.
