are there any aftermarket products that will replace the cat section with just a straight tube with a port for the o2 sensor. I think my cats are clogged an dont want to buy new ones

 

You can do 1 of 2 things to replace your cat. You can get a programmer to take care of your o2 sensors or you can buy two 18mm spark plug anti-fowlers for your replacement pipe. What you do is drill one them out so your o2 sensir will fit into it and tighten down, take the other one and cut a hole in the pipe so it will fit but the "head" is flush with the pipe then weld it in place. Then screw the one with o2 sensor into the one thats welded

 

why not just buy a replacement high flow cat...cost about the same.

 

Same as what a programmer? I'd go with a programmer over a replacement cat especially in a non emissions area because it gives you way more for the money. And the two anti-fowlers are about $14

 

Last time i checked cats are way more expensive than the entire exahust from the cat back

 

Go to discount muffler .com a Magnaflow high flow cat for our truck with o2 sensor insert $128.00. unless he has a welder, thats way cheaper than with he wants to do.

 

You must of looked at Fords web site.

 

You should've checked out Summit.

yeah i have a millermatic 175 mig perfect for the job. just need a heated garage. itabou 10degrees outside

 

Hell I might just buy a new cat and use the band clamps to avoid welding
