Bomiz has a massive sale right now so I could probably get the x-pipe with 2 200 CEL cats in the secondary position for the same as I could sell my current system. Then I could control the smell a little, avoid the whole situation you had, and get the same great sound.
Is this a good plan or is there more I should be aware of?

Just make sure you understand exactly what high flow cats are in any exhaust product you are buying. Quality of the cat is more important than cell count at controlling smell.
If the company will not disclose what brand and model cats they are using, you should assume the reason is because they used something cheap. Any company using HJS or GESI cats would proudly mention it due to the cost.
The Bomiz stuff is made in China. Looking at the Black Friday sale you mentioned, the quad resonated xpipe is $649 and the dual resonated dual 200 cell high flow cat version is $749.
How good do you expect the cats to be if they only warrant a price increase of $50 dollars per cat? I would not expect those cats to do much. A quality cat will cost the exhaust manufacturer several hundred dollars per unit.
