I have never heard of a cat-back having the cats on it. Are you sure you arent looking at a SLP Midpipe, not their catback?

The system is a cat-back. It doesn't have cats on it, only mufflers. It's not necessary to buy a midpipe with it.

My mistake, I was thinking the cat-back on the LM system was the same thing as the catalytic converters on the mid-pipes. After a little more research I realise how dumb that question really was lol, thanks for the help.
