Catalytic converter location in 3B ES/2 conversion

Has anybody found multi-cat system parts ?  I don't remember where this came
from, but it was posted recently to some motorhead forum:

Now personal preferences aside, I assume most listers don't think WRXes

dogs ;)  If subie has a 3-cat system working, I wonder if we can adapt 
something similar
to keep our local EPA hounds off our backs.
