Default Kook green cats (where to put them)

Im gonna order a set of 3 inch Kooks green cats to put on my car mainly to help lowering the gas smell wich is really present with my cam so.

I got a ARH catless x-pipe and was wondering if there is only one spot to have them welded on wich would be right after the "X" part or is there anyone that had some cats welded closer the the headers ???

Thanks
Eric

you want them as close to the headers are possible to keep them hot and work efficent. You would have to move the X-Pipe to the middle/back if you wanted the cats any closer to the headers.
