they will look like added on pieces to the mid pipe section. the are usually welded on but sometimes they are slip on. check your receipt and see if the catted mid pipe is listed, you would have paid extra for the option.

I bought them two years ago and don't have receipt.

it should be obvious when looking at the mid pipe. If it is completely straight then you have no cats. If it has a 4-5" bulge in it about 8-12" or so from the front end you have cats. I don't recall any aftermarket mid pipes where the cats, if included, are not Hi-flow.

They are LG headers and the cats are in the box. I thought you could tell by looking in one end of the cats. I can not look thur the cats.
