Pacesetter LT w/cats - options?

Even with the cats, you are still in violation for the simple fact that you have the cats moved from their stock locations...
AFAIK in NY, as long as the car has over 50k on it, you can move (or replace with aftermarket parts) the cats as long as they are present and working. Not sure about other states.
I've got the arizona speed & marine mid length / random tech y pipe combo and have passed emissions inspection 3 years running. Upstate NY doesn't have to pass a sniffer test, but I have no doubts that it would if need be.

About the drivers side fit. I've inspected that area and it looks like it has enough clearance and room there, but those lines do run pretty close... I was thinking of running heat tape along the length where they will be closer to the exhaust pipes and cat, both on the lines and the exhaust.
Won't the built in heat shield and header heat tape be enough? I wouldn't go and bend them

Having the minicat on the drivers side, I had enough room where I didn't have to wrap anything or relocate fuel/brake lines, ect. However, under heavier acceleration, the cat would tap on the torque arm so I temporarily wrapped it with some header wrap to dull the sound. Once I got the chassis mounted torque arm, I didn't have to worry about that anymore.

BTW if you put the cats in be sure to hook up the air pump system. The cats will clog in short order without that system working during the open loop period when the car is cold.

Heres some pics of my catted y with Pacesetter's. These are Magnaflow 3" cats. Keep in mind I have a Spohn chasis mount trq arm which gives a bit more room for the driver side cat. I also bent the fuel lines straight across as you can see in the one pic. When bending the lines just becareful not to kink them. I also have an off road y and I run the same mph at the track so I'm pretty sure its not costing much power. I have never dynoed with and without but track perfomance speaks for its self. Passed the sniffer test in Ontario too

Will this set of extensions work for me? Look at the endings.

He'll ship them to me cheap for 5$.
On the sites they're 25$ each w/o shipping. I'm saving about 15$
