Thanks everyone for your input! This is helping me tremendously.

Wow, that Y pipe you sent is what I already had on my parts list, but because of my limited exhaust knowledge, I thought that it wasn't the same Y-pipe that goes to my upstream cats. I thought it went `Headers -> Upstream Cats -> OEM Y-Pipe -> Some Exhaust Piping -> Rear Cat -> ??`

I don't know what I thought. But this makes so much more sense now. I agree that since I'm trying to not remove any cats I should ditch the DT Y-pipe and use that MagnaFlow.

That's great to know! If I don't use the DT Y-Pipe, and use this MagnaFlow #93655 Y-pipe/cat like @4RunnerAquasport mentioned, is it even more pointless to get the GESI cats? Because the Magnaflow cat built into the Y-pipe will act as a bottleneck?

I'm really looking at getting the GESI's, not because I like throwing money away, but because they do seem solid. Like you said, buy once, cry once.
