Yes, the down pipe will connect to the cat. Alot of OEM down pipes have a cat integrated into it.
FI doesn't make emissions worse per say, it's more of a question of the state of tune the car is in and if it has all of it's emission reducing parts in place.
A lot of cheap high-flow cats are nothing more than a resonater and provide no benefit as far as cleaning the exhaust. I don't know about name brand units tho.

I don't know, I have no experience with Carsound. Sorry. The only people who will know are Carsound users that have had an emissions check.
