CAI question + CAT converter

Hello. I've been reading back a lot on both the CAI and about catalytic converters and still came up with a couple questions (even though these are commonly discussed topics).
I modified the Injen short ram intake on my solara by having about an inch and a quarter cut off so there would be more clearance from the battery and inner fender well. I called Under Pressure to see if that would have any effect on the installation if I bought Danny's cold air extension, and the gentleman said he didn't know b/c he had never seen them installed. The cut was made on the filter end of the pipe and I was wondering if anyone knew how much of a difference this would make b/c if it won't work with the CAI, I think I'm goin' back to the stock airbox and K & N.
My other question was regarding catalytic converters. Apparently I have 2 fouled injectors (a Toyota dealership messed them up, but that's another story), so I decided to go ahead and upgrade to supra injectors while I am already paying for the labor. I'm in the process of buying Jim's fuel upgrade kit, I have a 190 lph Walbro pump, and I'm also buying the Split Second FTC. Anything else I need there? And also, another Toyota dealership said in the meantime that the only damage that could be done to my car while I wait for these parts is that I could mess up my catalytic converter. So, as a pre-emptive strike, I was going to do some research on catalytic converters and wondered which one you guys would suggest to complement a JIC exhaust system. THANK YOU ALL very much.
