If done properly to mimic the existing setup of the two bolt flange you wouldn't have that problem. Just my .02
Anyhow it sounds like the best way to go about doing it is to shell out the $165 for the Trubendz cat , and the additional $48.95 for the flex pipe. all plus shipping of course.
Looks like I'll just bolt the headers up to the existing SVT y-pipe and save up for the extra components.
