Correct. The cats are different between the GT and V6 but everything from the H back from a GT can be adapted to convert a V6 to duals using the proper X or H pipe designed for a V6 like the Pypes X pipe.

Everyone has a different opinion as to what sounds better on a V6 or GT, but if you ask my opinion the ford racing GTA axle backs are my favorites

Ah okay, but how different? Even if I replace the cats, will it change the problem or will it still not bolt up to the headers? Does it mean I have to the headers too?

I like this option for the v6 99-04 mustangs:http://www.americanmuscle.com/pypes-...ttedxpipe.html

I'm just not sure what I would have to cut.

My original plan was to get 2 Magnaflow High Flow Cats with Tru X-Pipe, one for my 2005 and one for my girlfriends 2000 but now that there is a rumor that they won't bolt up to v6 headers I'm worried about buying it. I really am not a fan of the x-pipe I have cut into the Y pipe and just wanted a real good setup with all magnaflow or something.

Thanks.

If you want to replace your cats why don't you just use these

well yeah but I was hoping there would be a whole kit like for the gts, i didn't really want to cut or weld into anything, so expensive to do that stuff here.....I mean if do something like that I won't do it til next summer now but I'll use magnaflow high flow cats....just sucks I'd have to do instead of there being a kit out to make it easier for us Sixers.

You're right. I don't know of any kit for the V6 which replaces everything from the manifolds back.
