Since this issue has come up, here's a couple of work-in-progress pictures of one of my pair of gutted secondary cats. I cut the end of the canister off with a band saw, removed the heavy (7 pounds each!) metal honeycomb core, and then rewelded the end cap back on it.

End result should be a nice stealth look (disclaimer: for off-road use only of course).

Thanks - DM
Maybe some people did exactly that (install the other way), and thus it looks like their exhaust tips are touching the bumper cover. And wow!!....the canister looks like a major restriction!
