You need the cats in CA. It's is the law. If you want true duals you'll need dual cats.

Someone should come along any time now and link us to a WWW resource on this topic.

Cats are necessary to pass emissions, especially in a strict place such as CA. Also, I believe its a large federal fine if you run your car without one. Severly modified exhaust isn't allowed in alot of states (probably CA as well) although I can't tell you the specifics.
