Default Speed Engineering Headers With Cats

So I just got a full set of Speed Engineering headers, and Im wondering has anyone installed these and were able to attatch cats on to them? I'm trying to figure out where I can install them but I cant find room to where they can be attached. Has anyone had success installing cats onto these headers and if so could you show me where you attached them? Would I need to just reshape the x pipe? Also would I need to buy longer extension cables other than the 24 inch? I appreciate any help, thanks guys.

Can't help you with installing cats, I'm running Speed Engineering setup but using their x pipe with no cats.
I did end up buying 31 inch 02 extensions as I didn't want to mess with trying to get slack out of 02 harness from the factory.
other than that I have had no issues, the x pipe and exhaust has been removed and reinstalled a few times over the last two years and still no issues.

I don't know about the Texas speeds,, but yes mine hangs a little lower than the stock exhaust, but I drag the center air dam piece more than the headers, I've only scrapped the headers once going over a speed bump to fast, no dents just scratches.
