Default NEED help with CATS ASAP! Have LPP headers with stock exhaust

So I have a big prob that took me by surprise... Years ago, I installed on my truck a set of LPP headers and had completely and stupidly forgotten that I had not installed catalytic converters... I moved to another province and am now stuck with a vehicle that will obviously not pass very strict emissions tests. I have a temporary plate that will last me 10 days and need to figure out what to do here.

So for the peeps who have lpp headers, where along the exhaust did you install your cats? From what I can tell, there isn't enough room to install the cats directly on the headers themselves and installing anywhere else would be too far back for the cats to be effective.

Any suggestions?

Ok, thanks, you shed a bit of light on my problem, i see pics of these on google, didn't think one could find cats that are so small and yet effective. I thought something this small would of choked the exhaust flow.

I've always been a magnaflow fan, so I'll most likely grab a set of these.

Thanks again.
