[Shotimes] Sho Shop y-pipe w/cats

[Jason Hartberger]

isn't it fairly important that the cats go in the right way? I mean... if 
you have the exhaust going through the three different reactors in the wrong 
way, the chemical process gets reversed, and is made useless.. you can put 
salt into the stew, but you can't take it back out... not by reversing the 
process, anyway. And, also, isn't their heat-shielding aluminum wrapper 
stuff on the exhaust trough over the cat to shield the body from the heat of 
the cats? on my cats (stock), the  metal heat-shield is on the bottom of the 
cats, and it has saved my hand many a time... just throwing in my .2 dime 
here...
