Last month in Florida, a buyer filed a suit against the seller of a car that he bought. It had the cats removed, and he could not register the vehicle in his state. The seller claimed he did not remove the cats, but he lost his case, as it is a FEDERAL offense to remove the cats, or to sell a vehicle with the cats removed, even if it was not you that did it.
The seller had to refund the money to the buyer, and pay a $25,000.00 fine.

How many cats does an 08 f150 have? This truck is driving me nuts. It has a Flowmaster 40 series on it and it gets drowned out by a stock Durango. WTF? Ive heard that these things can have up to 4 cats....is this true. If so, which ones do I yank out to get this thing sounding like it has a V8 and not a lethargic 6 banger? Thanks.
P.S. Please dont bark at me that removing cats is illegal...The hypotheticals on what could and would happen are astounding. Besides, its a stock 08 F150 with an exhaust, it will turn heads, but its not gonna be like a built Big block...lol

If you yank them, you better keep them.

We dont even have emissions. So why would one need to have a car looked at to register? Just hack them off but leave the ones with the 02 sensors in it.

I have been thinking about removing last 2 as well. I do have a 4 series as well which sounds great between 1600 and 2k rpm. Anyone have clips of just a welded 40 series with 2 cats only?

"leave the catless crap to chevy drivers".
Thats cute. Well, just a quick FYI. Taking the cats out of the exhaust stream doesnt throw a CEL light or a code. What throws a code is the fact that your engine is dumping more/less fuel than it should be, because of the decreased backpressure, thus making the O2 read rich/lean.
Pretty bad that the Chevy guy had to clear that up for ya......lol
But at any rate, there's only 2 on this thing so Im just gonna throw some high flows in it and call it a day. Thanks.
