not on these trucks they kill your power and your fuel mileage....better used as a paperweight.
The only place for a Cat is stuffed up people like Nancy P's ***!!!! side ways!
Alright, thanks man!
btw, do throttle body spacers help increase hp?
your truck is carborated, right? I always heard they helped a tad... I've never run one though.

No, mine if fuel injected.
Better leave the cats on cause it might not run right mine didn't.
Oh really? I'll take em off, and if it dont run right...i will get some high-flow cats.
I will try taking them off anyways, or i could hollow them out...I put a new O2 sensor on and never could get the timing right. And we had just finished a fresh rebuild.
If it's fuel injected - forget about the throttle body spacer.

Get yer head out of the septic tank.....
I followed your link and stumbled across this video...
Not that I've thought about it or anything, But I know a guy that gutted a cat and ran a straight pipe through it, spot welding the cat shell on to make it look like it was part of the exhaust system. It runs fine and sounds great, and it is fuel injected.

Which if you read the annotations to, might seem familiar.
And if it's fuel injected and older removing the cats probably won't matter. My Ranger for example had an O2 sensor before the cats, but not after, so if you removed them, the truck wouldn't have known the difference. I think the Ford post-cat sensors came with OBD-2, but don't quote me on that.
Having cats is a federal law on most newer vehicles.usuall most states say every vehical after 1983 has to have the cats so if im right ur stuck w em
