My mustang had 4 cats.It was designed that way. Obviously the size, location
and composition of the cats was optimized for the expected flowrate.

BTW, all 4 cats were gone 2 weeks after I took delivery. Replaced them with
straight 2.25 tubing. We don't do that EPA stuff down here ,
what's holding me back on the dak is the computer.
