Those cats are part of the header so I dont think he can get them in high flow. He could get the downstream one in high flow.

I had my aftermarket y-pipe and header merged together... downside when I got rid of the car, the "one piece" went with it too

Sounds pointless to me. Why don't you just get aftermarket, you can even get them on ebay for crying out loud. Then tell him to weld a hi flow cat on the y-pipe if you don't want to be catless. I would even tell him to display his mad man skills and make the header and y-pipe one piece like MY2J so you can avoid any leaks. That way you can keep your factory header incase you ever have to go back to stock, emissions purposes, etc. Or you can sell it and recoup some of your money back.
