Where are you guys getting the best price on off-road Y pipes for the 2013 ecoboost, and did you need a tune to get rid of the rear o2 cat sensors, or is there another way like o2 eliminators? I don't really want to tune the vehicle.

I just found out the price of the catalytic converters for this truck. I have a low efficiency on bank 1 catalyst, and depending on which cat that is (driver or passenger) the price is either $230 for driver side or $696 for passenger side, plus shipping. The light came on 4 hours after I left the dealership and he agreed to replace it - but I'd rather not make him pay that much if it's the passenger side... after all it does have 104k miles and was "as is".

So I'm thinking I may just give him the option to order a catless Y pipe instead. IDK what brand to get, but I don't want to pick an expensive one either.
Can anyone lead me in the right direction? Any decent $200ish Y pipes out there without fitment/exhaust leak issues?

Haven't priced any aftermarket parts for this truck yet (didn't plan on putting any on it).

According to the interweb Bank 1 is passenger side. Could it also be an o2 sensor? I'd like the dealer flix it and be done with it.

As was pointed out prior, the car dealership sold the vehicle with non-function emissions, which is against federal law. Now, you're proposing bypassing the emissions equipment all together, which is also against federal law.

I've deleted the cats on my last three vehicles. The EPA is a joke, to hell with them.

Check us out at MAK Performance, we make a direct bolt-on y-pipe and very well priced. Actually they are on sale at the moment.

Found it, $10 off sale I guess? Seems a little high for what it is. I'll have to collect other opinions and see other prices first. Haven't really looked around yet.

What do you typically do with the rear o2s throwing a code after you delete the cats?

You can do whatever you want. Whether the forum moderators let you discuss it on the forum is another matter. And whether you choose to hold the dealer responsible for selling legal vehicles or not, you posted enough information about the transaction, including the dealer's info, that if anyone wanted to they could let the Illinois Attorney Generals' office know about the dealer. Whether you're willing to live with the sale or not, the dealer has to be held to a higher standard by law.

I never posted the dealer's information.

Do you mean AutoP**x in Mt. Vernon, Illinois?

Lol!
Whoops. Didn't even notice the sign in the back - oblivious... He has offered to fix it, so no fault on his part anyways. I'm just looking for alternatives to not make him pay $700+ shipping on the passenger side catalyst. Not sure why you believe it to be any of your business. Super eco friendly guy are we? Let me guess, you leaned blue today?
