Default Quick Question for all you F-150 5.0 bubba's!

I think I already know the answer to this but I will ask anyway. Is there an O2 sensor before and after the Cat's or just before? Since I live in SC, there are no emission laws. So, of course, I want to get rid of the Cat's. Thanks in advance!

You can trick the O2 sensors by moving them slightly out of the stream using 2 spark plug non-foulers.

Yes there are oxygen sensors before catalytic convertor and after...these are called cat monitors. They tell the computer how efficient the final burn is and how the convertors are operating.

Thanks, Limited, for the detailed answer. That's all I wanted to know.
