Now I haven't personally measured the distance between the cats, but FWIW I would say it is more than 6".
Well for "full prep" cars it is probably preferable to go with a catless header and a catted front pipe - they will be running a tune anyway which will take care of the CEL, and removing the header cat is probably better for power/temps and it's getting rid of weight in a better place.
