Default custom y pipe with cats?

Ok, so I got some pacestters.
I want to keep cats in the system.

I will have a shop in the area fab a custom y with some cats....so do I use stock cats or are there gains to be seen with something like magnaflow high flow cats? If so pn's?

Houston boys chime in with some exhaust shops in the NW/spring/woodlands area for good exhaust work. I have been to Ripley's on Rayford before and they weren't too bad.

Thanks

Most people say stock cats flow well, I heard the magnaflows go out after like 20k miles, but I'm not to sure, as for a shop in houston, the only one that's good that comes to mind is on veterans memorial and beltway 8, not to sure of the name but I can get it for you if your interested

I have cats with pacesetters and i had Stan at Sotex do my custom work. Hes in Tomball, does good work, and is fairly inexpensive. Im lazy so here is a quote from Leo from the Houston GTG thread. Good luck.

my dad took it down to him while i was at school yesterday. i like it, but it raddles around the pass. cat and i think i need to tighten up the header bolts. but he did thread a cap in wrong on the driver side so i cant put that 02 sensor in. i'm gonna take it to him this weekend if i can and see if i can get that straightened out.
