Remove the back ones instead of the fronts, removing the fronts will throw codes but the backs wont.

Don't u have a tuner? If so just turn off the rear 02 sensors and you can take all the cats off if you want. I don't recommend it because the 4.6 and 5.4's like a little backpressure.

Is it safe to remove the two cats on a 06 or will this mess up gas mileage an give me a code light on the dash?
I was thinking of taking them off, an adding the flowmaster muffler with a turn down at the rear!
