My understanding is this:
Cats only work when they have warmed up to operating temperature, which is
very hot. They are warmed up via exhaust gases flowing thru them. If you
split the exhaust gases to 2 different cats, they will warm up much slower
and you'll be spewing emissions into the air for a much longer period of
time. Hence, the regs on dual cats.
Now, if someone could 'invent' a pre-heated catalytic converter and get it
EPA-approved, you could have dual cats AND be environmentally cleaner than
the original....... :^)
