The issue with moving cats is because they are designed to work efficiently at a particular temerature, and moving them further down the exhaust hinders their ability to stay at said temp. This is why longtube headers are not emissions legal.

As a side note, this is why the A.I.R system is in place on some cars- to heat the cats up faster on startup.
