Brian,

I have done this. The aftermarket cat bolts up fine with the S&S system.
However, one of the cat flanges was tilted at an angle. Do you know what I mean?
they were not exactly parallel to each other. This caused a slight problem when
lining up the S&S muffler. I had to loosen all of the muffler fasteners,
tighten the cat flange fasteners, and then push the muffler into position. I don't
know if it was just the cat I bought, or are they all like this? The cat
seems of good quality, I got it from a popular list vendor. Good deal for $99 plus
shipping.
