    I have about 32000 miles with the Kooks. My rig has a little under 50k on it. No issues. :hmm:

    That's reassuring. Still, why place the cat there when you can easily place it downstream like the SW design? (not bashing here, simply asking - and I really do like Kook's products).

    (I don't know anything about it) Do the cats need to be a certain ways away from the exhaust ports to operate at a certain temp?

    Ideally, the cats should be closer to the header collector for faster light-off. This can be accomplished without running the right side pipe under the trans pan. I like the design of the American Racing headers better for this:
