Default Cat Problems.

I have a 1995 F150 and I just replaced my transmission. Prior to me having replaced it, I had bad pressure in first and second gear and I had no clue why. The result of this were two bands, a couple of clutches, and a shift kit. Now that i just paid two grand to get my transmission rebuilt, I still have a bog down starting out in first gear. I figured, when I got my new Distributor, That my timing was off so I fixed the timing and the bogging down was still there. So I talked to my buddy said that it were my cats. Is this possible? If so can I just cut them off? And would that have anything to do with my transmission? Thanks!

Oh very true. If you're in a state that doesn't test, cut it out and never look back. If they do, you'll want hi-flow cats

You can gut them or get "cut outs" but it sounds like that wouldn't work of they check the inside so you're gonna want to replace them with high flow cats

Sorry I didn't clarify. Thy don't check INSIDE the pipe. By visual inspection I just meant thy simply put it on a lift and look to see you got a cat and a muffler. Thy don't look inside lol

It sounds like a cut out would work nicely then
