Default How many cats is my car supposed to have?

Looked underneath my car this morning and counted two cats. Looks like where theres supposed to be two more the previous owner welded on a straight pipe. That would explain why my check engine light is on. I just wonder why he didnt take off the other two cats.

On an '03 you should have a total of 4, two near the manifolds, and two oxidizing cats underneath the seats.
