Default precats

it just crossed my mind, but when i was over my mechanic friends shop he was swapping engines on a v6 camry 90 or so, but there was a precat in the wrap around from the 2 banks then it went into 1 bank for the exhaust, like a U into a Y so it would go into one single pipe for the exhaust but. anywho i dunno if thats the same kinda setup?
just a thought

That y pipe shaped like a U is the same design found on 1MZ-FE and 3MZ-FE V6 exhaust setups. Yes there are pre cats for both banks so in essence you have a 3 cat setup with the flex piping and etc for emission purposes.
