Default Cats with Long Tubes?!

This question I'm sure has been asked before but anyway..

I just bought a set of new LT headers and O/R H Pipe off of my friend that sold his mustang recently. They we're never installed and just sat in his garage. So I got a steal on them both but the problem is I wanted Hi Flow cats with my end set up and the H pipe is like I said off road so my question is: Could I order a new set of hi flow cats and just weld them in when I install the Headers or am I going to run into problems with that and might as well buy a new H/X catted mid pipe?..do they even sell them for LTs?

Also if everyone agrees I need to go the route of new mid-pipe, I should go with an X for this set up I'm striving for correct?

Thanks for any help

Honestly the guy bought them a while back from a friend of his and forgot what brand they were (which made me wonder..) but there isn't any indication on the outside what brand they are. They do however look extremely well built (great wield lines ex..) I definitely made sure of that before I bought them. It was a Craigslist buy locally

Is there anyway I could tell like on the inside of one of the tubes or something?

Disregard the X vs H question I just read the bottom forum

Just post up some pics.

And yes, provided there is a long enough section of straight pipe, you can always weld in a cat.

I had some Pypes HF cats cut into my longtube setup last year. They worked fine until I had to cut them out due to going FI. Brenspeed sells them.
