Y-pipe, cats, precats ... need some help!!!

I'm trying to figure out what I need to do with the cats and pre-cats, yes, a little confused to how many there are. I read some on the warpspeed y-pipe. Now, if I was to go with that option, how many precats will I be eliminating? And how many would I still need to replace after the y pipe install? I see Walker is a trusted source, I suppose I will have the others replaced instead of gutted. Don't have the patience for a rusted exhaust, especially with no work space under the car. Yes, exhaust shop it will go.

You have 2 pore cats (1 for each bank, # 12 and #20020) and 1 main cat (after the y-pipe merge).

You don't have to do anything b/c it's a 3.0. They're not dangerous. Worst case is if they get clogged at high mileage.

I would Y pipe it if it's a fed spec like nester said. It never hurts to pick up some extra power
