I don't think there is any way to make room for a cat in any of the manufactured non catted headers.

I have heard that Nello at MaxSpeed will soon have high flow catted headers, but I cannot verify this. Aside from that, I think you'd be designing an building a complete header from the ground up if you wanted to do this.

In terms of performance and avoiding CELs, you can run a non catted header, and relocate the secondary O2 sensors to after the secondary (well now your only) cats.

Hope this helps

I was thinking the secondary cats are not quite up to par in terms of emissions performance with the primary cats. I was looking to simply swap out better cats in place of the secondary cats if it made sense?
