From my limited knowledge a "non reversal cone" is inserted into the dustbin to provide a smooth transition of the exhaust gases from a larger bore to a smaller one. It effectively acts like a funnel.
The top of the y piece is cut open, the cat removed and the cone inserted and welded into place before the top is re-welded.
In principle it is similar to the ACT or Clive F y piece but, retains the original dustbin appearance.

From what I have read it could sound terrible. I changed mine for a Clive F Y piece a coupe of months ago and it really is a work of art and a lot smaller and lighter. I think taking the CAT out if the original can make it drone a lot.
