First station? What branch? If you can catch bullets, you're no "kid" IMHO.
I say screw the GT and stick with what you got. Just a thought, but insurance for your age will be much better, and a V-6 will out handle any COMPARABLY equipped GT due to better balance, braking, and the lower front end weight. I'm a handling guy so I just thought I'd throw that in there.
As far as fixing your little problem, I would keep your current cats, and have an H made from there to a true cat back position (that way a future cat-back could be added without further mods). Then continue back as a dual. I would say $100 would cover it.
But even better, every military base has a "auto hobby shop." There you find a ton of gear heads doing everything from oil changes to engine rebuilds. Usually, it has plenty of tech help right there too. Cost of a bay fee ($5/day sometimes, $3/hr other times) and the right friend who could weld that for you for the cost of a 12 pack. Then you get to see it, do it, and learn it. I taught numerous people tons of tricks that are near impossible to explain, but take only a few minutes to demonstrate. I learned allot too. Good equipment, good help, and something to do if you end up in some back water ConUs base that will keep you out of trouble.
Here I am getting ready for a Al flywheel, drive shaft, and clutch on my old '00 6cyl. It shows the Pacesetter adapter that I used to a GT take off cat back. I was teaching a guy how to remove and install a trans in 2hrs flat(my record). This was at the Yuma base. Made things allot easier to have every tool right there and not have to work on stands to do it.

lol what the hell happened there??????? ive never seen exhaust done like that before i seriously hope u didnt pay much for that lazy/half @$$ job man im sorry but ughhh just like the other guys said pay a little extra and get it done Right! i got mine dualled w/dual flowmasters and paid about $320 right were it Y's they cut and put a GT take off for the other pipe and it sounds great if you would like a clip i can get one just pm me.

im joining the navy. contract just wanting to go.

ya ive been told about the base thing but do they have pipy that i can use???

You would pay for the pipe, but most (not all) have a bender of some sort. I'd just show up and do an oil change one day. There will be someone like me there who will probably want to help you out and know the shop operators on a first name basis. If not, just ask around. I usually got free bay time for helping others. And they generally get good discounts an normal parts (OE) and such that get pass on to you. Each shop is a bit different, but they will get you taken care of.
By the way you should've gone to the men's department of the Navy. OORAH USMC!!!

@ gdcpony,
thats a pretty neat deal having a shop on base where you can work on your car.
nice job on the exhaust.
ps, It takes a tough son-of-a-gun to be a Marine!

@ uconnV6, best of luck in the Navy, it will be the time of your life!

I'm not in anymore, wife gave me a choice between the family or the Corps. Toughest choice I ever made. I'm a military brat too. Born in Germany to an Army dad. Both grandfathers were USMC, and it goes on back to before we had a country. My generation is the first not to have a Purple Heart or three, and I can't say I regret that.
I have some of right when I started modding my 2000. A friend was learning to pull trannies and had the pics after my last laptop took a dive on me. Here you go. They aren't the best. The warranty had just run out, so I was just getting started. The adapter is a Pacesetter, and I hooked a GT take off to it. Later I went to longtubes, and a cat-H. This pull I was doing a Al flywheel, Al driveshaft, shifter, clutch, clutch cable, firewall adjust, quadrant, and a pedal height adapter. Notice the front springs and sway bars? I love suspension work! But never order a Steeda part! Good parts, bad customer service.
