Its not a friday OT, but it may appear inane or frivilous.

Does anyone know if the catalytic converter has to be in front of the
muffler? I know, I know, but I have a good reason to ask <g>

Its an air cooled, and so there is no O2 sensor to deal with, and I am
just sitting here late on a friday with no one to ask but the collective
geniuses who inhabit the list.

I will end up at the smog station eventually to check and make sure, but I
figure its free to just ask around.  I have to put one on my van, and you
can imagine how much easier it would be to add it after the muffler.
Outside of being nonstandard, I figure maybe it needs to be before the
muffler where the exhaust is hotter, but I am still curious. Anyone have
an opinion or useful comment?

Thanks a lot.
