I don't know the real answer. But I would say no. I mean keep in mind there is only so much exhaust that goes through our little V6s...

It woundt do anything at all think about it why would you even want cats? and if you mean u want dual exhaust it wont doo much im sure you will loose ALLOT of TQ and back pressure. If anything just put a 2.5 inch catback on your car and your good oto go and a highflow cat.

uh yeah... too much cat flow and your loosing power. just get a 2 1/2 or maybe a 3 inch high flow cat... and a 2 1/2 - 3 inch exhaust system.
