Ford says I need new cats, I don't know if I wanna go that route. Is there a good catless midpipe exhaust setup to go with on a supercrew?

 

Well, you'll be illegal with this setup for smog test-if your state/county has one.

 

Depends on your year. Mid 06 onward has 2 cats and prior to that has 4. I have an 04 and my drivers side front one gave out. I just gutted my 2 front ones and welded the body back together essentially making it the same as an 06 onward. Magnaflow does sell replacement high flow cats part number 99176HM. The oem rears are pretty close to a high flow anyhow which is why I left them in as well as staying emissions legal.

 

no smog test...

 

I'm just not wanting to replace the cats. Car-x quoted 1800 after fords 4300 quote.

 

The magnaflows are about 80 to 100 bucks each. The other option like I did was free but you need access to a welder. Muffler shops will not do it. With labor to put in magnaflow at any muffler shop should be about 3 to 4 hours or so. So well under 1000.

 

I found a guy that is selling me stock midpipe and a aftermarket exhaust from a truck he's parting out for 125...do that for now until I can empty out the cats
