Search for oem replacement cats. The flow is more that good enough. But then find a fix so these cats are not screwed up too.

Yeah the truck slowly ran worse and worse over a year. I think a bad o2 sensor and a bad #7 coil are the culprits

Mudshark its cause you told me to man up and fix my truck. Its only 150. That is not the same as saying 'magna flow makes a really cheap cat for 75. You dont have to have oem ones to run properly' You know what I mean?

Lets move on indeed.

Has anyone seen a exhaust part that has a o2 mount? The cats ill get dont have an o2 mount and Id rather not use my ****ty little 120v welder to weld a nut on a pipe.

On a seperate note, this truck is DAMN loud without cats and muffler.
