We would use an off road pipe, cut a gutted cat in half and weld it on to the outside of an off road pipe
BTW getting back to the original problem...... did a new tune fix the problem ?

And the legal issues, well gutting your cats is just as illegal as moving or taking them off. And most states do not have visual inspections anyway.
I just did not see the logic in the post to be honest.
