Scion tC's with 2 Catalytic Converters?

Why does the car have 2 Catalytic Converters, one in the Exhaust manifold and one underneath the car?

Does anybody know?

Yea, but its a pain in the ___ when you get the sulfur smell, there's a TSB for the 05 models with sulfur/egg smell coming from the cat, due to excessive acceleration and/or stop and go driving,

Already replaced one... =\

YAY! I prat to all that is holy my cat goes out. In California you can not replace your catalytic converter unless it malfunctions or is damaged. So if mine goes kaput.. I can replace it with a CARB legal High flow Cat :D
